Just interested to know.
I haven't got the LATEST client as it's 10am and I'm at work atm.

It seems NAV detects SL client as an INTERNET WORM.

I don't know if:

a) my client crashes because NAV stops it
or
b) when my client crashes, NAV detects this phenomenon

I select PERMIT from the list of options in NAV but it continually comes up anyway and won't go away until the Crash Logger is closed. Sometimes it comes back when I start SL client again after the crash.

Anyone else see this problem?

I might be able to disable 'internet worm protection' in NAV as my habits usually prevent worm infection and virus infection at any rate (I just like to have it for ease of mind).

Gotta Love Nortan....the only AVP that detected Microsoft back in 1995 for what it truly was...a virus.
