| brian the webmaster guru | navaspscv.exe is a phone home cookie for norton anti-virus, located in the general index.dat file group folder. any history eraser program will delete it. This 'file' can allow anyone with some 'script' knowhow to easily give you a remote trojan. Norton came with my new computer but i am uninstalling Norton and replacing with Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro (the best ) |

| Joe G. | Constantly Grabs Large Chunks of the CPU |
| Steffen | Diese Datei gehört zu Norton Antivirus, ist also ungefährlich. Erzeugt alle 60 Sekunden eine CPU-Spitze von 100%. Dadurch ruckeln insbesondere 3D-Spiele. |

| David | It is supplied and launched by Norton AntiVirus Siehe auch: Link |
| | This is Norton antivirus autoprotect from what I've learned. But it does about 180,00 I/O reads every time I start my computer and makes it unusable for about 2 minutes before it's done doing whatever it is doing. I would appreciate anyone's input on how to reduce the delay it produces at startup. |
| jw | slows things down considerably |
| Kai | That it eats up processor space |
| Pascal | Norton AV 2005 (aucun problème) Symantec |
| Ardz | Norton Antivirus,if you are having problems with it being a resource hog then you must have an ancient PC. Any modern PC shouldnt have any problems. I run it on every thing from a 9III 1000 to a Athlon 2600XP and no problems at all. |
| wizkid | eats at CPU - UGH |
| | norton antivirus and navapsvc.exe in particular simply wont go away. I'm not sure, but I think this is in some mysterious way to blame for a whole lot of problems i've encountered recently, such as not being able to access secure sites. |
| Grepen | Windows Reads from this file with 1.5Gb among off data in an 8 hour period. It takes a lot of space in my Pagefile. |
| Georg | Part of Symantec Norton Internet Security suite Siehe auch: Link |
| Phil | Norton Antivirus autoprotect. if youre surfing the web, or opening a new exe. for the first time, its a very good idea to have this running. to reduce processor usage, do a full system scan of your computer. if that doesnt work, i cant help you |
| | high cpu utilization 40+% all of the time |
| Linda | It stops the computer from shutting down. |
| dinges | If you want to be protected you keep it, if you don't wan't it's up to you... |
| Max | Slows down my system considerably, making it unusable for roughly 5 minutes after starting. |
| slave | It seems to eat up CPU, but never release it. Shutting down and rebooting resets it, but, in a week or so, I'll have to shut down and reboot again to move it from using 150meg back to 20 meg. |
| Sanford | It Crashes XP professional Restore Operation |
| | navapsvr means Norton Anti Virus Auto Protection Service ,well it takes from 3 to 15 mb of space but it dosen't make any negative effects on a new pc ,1.5 ghz and above ,but sure it slows dramaticlly olders pc |
| Mark | It consumes 70-100% CPU on my NEW PC! |
| cpufreak | nur von norton anti virus also nicht gefährlich |
| Cue | It's eating 24% power from a powerfull dull Xeon 2700. |
| John | Bring up task manager and see if photoshopelementsdeviceconnect is running. If it is, end the task and see if navapsvc.exe stops eating up all the cpu time. I stopped photoshopelementsdeviceconnect.exe from running all the time by using msconfig and unchecking it under the services tab. |
| Ray | Takes 35 % or more of my cpu. Ardz's connection to "modern machine" is bogus. I have an Athlon XP 2700 and I have a problem with the file. |
| | It is approaching 1B I/O Reads on my system and really slowing things down. |
| Bob | When I try to install Norton AntiVirus 2004, I get a screen saying the navapsvc.exe file cannot be found. Why isn't the file on the Norton AntiVirus install disk? Siehe auch: Link |
| Peter | Tremendous waste of resources. Huge consumer. |
| Malcolm | Pulling cpu resources |
| | Part of Nortons bloatware slows fast sytems to slow and cripples slow systems Norton prevents viruses from infecting your system by crippling your system thus rendering it unuseable thus if you cant use your system you cant get infected nice one norton |
| Simon | Norton anti vir auto protect alle 2-3 sekunden werden 30-40% des CPU´s verwendet und bewirkt daher ruckeln |
| Jason | John, You were absolutely right about the photoshop elements. Good Job! |
| bob | it kills my processor , i am getting rid of norton |
| James | hogs my cpu and slows down games |
| Amos | As John said "Bring up task manager and see if photoshopelementsdeviceconnect is running. If it is, end the task and see if navapsvc.exe stops eating up all the cpu time. I stopped photoshopelementsdeviceconnect.exe from running all the time by using msconfig and unchecking it under the services tab." Wow, I stopped photoshopelementsdeviceconnect and the navapsvc cpu usgae went down to 0% immediately. |
| Westergom | Well something is definetly wrong here. Who ever keeps saying that its because its running on an old computer is wrong. When it messes up it messes up. Right now its eating up 30-50 % of my CPU... Norton works fine for some people and others.... becareful getting rid of Norton, it can be troublesome. Don't check their website its a waste of time. I "think" the whole problem happens after a system has become infected. I encountered a virus that was able to turn off the windows firewall and shut down the autoprotect. Norton wasn't able to save its selve from this one. Norton has crapped since. |
| Joel | It was eating 70something % of my CPU. Granted my CPU is slow by today's standards. Ending the process caused the Norton anti-virus auto-protect to shut off. I noted it because Suddenly my computer was suddenly slower than sh**. I've never noticed a problem with norton running auto protect before. |
| sideshow | if your cpu is being over-utilized by this, try stopping picasa media detection |
| Sumit | Waste of resources |
| Tooki | NAV AutoProtect. Never a problem on any of the machines I've serviced with NAV installed. |
| Marcel | from Norton bloatware Service, takes 25% my athlon64 4000+ cpu-time |
| David | I know that this file belongs to the Norton Antivirus stuff, but the prob for me, is that it wont go. im trying to uninstall norton but my friend has deleted sum program files for it. so now on the quick launch, i cant end it, and its not working, so i was advised to end it manually by ending the processes, through a gruelling task of finding and deleting norton processes, i noticed this one wont remove itself from the process list. I cant uninstall it, and im left with no protection. |
| Kris | kills my cpu using 85-100%,might as well have a atari st! im gona uninstall |
| seb | trotz 26 prozesse regelmäßiges ruckeln, lange nach dem fehler gesucht; norton gibt antwort darauf |
 Leo | 60 to 80% of cpu resources taken by this file |
| Marcus | Hogs the CPU of a 2.5GHz desktop - replace Norton Antivirus with another program |
| Chris | Clashes with Grisofts' AVG avgcc.exe. If one is running the other runs too. I choose to end navapsvc.exe - system returns to normal |
| David | Norton AV Auto Protect Feature - important for protecting my pc, but eats 30% of my new AMD64 CPU with 1GB RAM |
| Michael | This one has caused a lot of problems for me. Whenever I download something big, run a movie or whatever sometimes it will scan it all through turning my new computer to a halt for 20min. Recently it has also caused some programs not to work properly. Will take several minutes before some programs will pop up after clicking on the icon. Also made surfing through IE very very slow. Uninstalled Norton and got rid of the file. I'm finally enjoying my fast computer. |
| sum guy | this is norton antivirus. it might slow your pc down but it's not dangerous at all |
| | It's Photoshop! I just uninstalled it and got my PC back! Nice one John - thanks |
| adeel | use up 100% cpu |
| steve | slows cpu to crawl laptop wont shut down |
| guesit | It is anti-virus process, but east all CPU power and access HDD all the time |
| John | It takes unbelievable amount of memory, I usually disable it. |
| Elsee | I closed my video editing software and it quit using up my cpu..studio 7 maybe some processes cause it to scan more than others??? |
| Charlie | Thanks for the clue about photoshop elements. I use a CRe500 i APP USB card reader for my photo work. It appears that Photoshop Elements keeps checking to see if I inserted a card with any photos. Every time it does this navapsvc does its job an trys to check a file coming from a removeable device. This causes the system to trash. Unpluging the USB card reader fixes the problem until the next time you need to read a card. |
| Britt | John's advice worked for me. My cpu usage fell from a constant 50-ish to under 5% the second I killed the photoshopelementsdeviceconnect process. |
| Pete | as mentioned, its a norton file. Norton is a cpu hog. I'd recommend trend micro, avast or kaspersky labs anyday before norton (with a preference for trend micro) |
| Paul | Was never aqn issue until recently on my PC - now consumes 40-55% of CPU - I select 'end process' on task manager then re-enable auto-protect and the issue is solved - well for the time being! |
| MGTaylor | I go into task manager, end the process by right clicking in the file name. Shut down task manager the right click the norton icon in the taskbar and re-enable it. It no longer uses up resources. It just started acting up all of a sudden. |
| Rob S. | Causes several applications to run agonizingly slow! |
| MSC-SA | Process was CPU hog. At 60-75% of CPU. Stopped Picasa2 and CPU use instantly dropped to 1-2%. Thanks to sideshow for tip to stop Picasa media detector! |
| Greg | Takes up 30% of my cpu usage as well. Between this and winlogon.exe, i cant even run diablo 2 smoothly on my 2ghz, 1gb ram machine ( anyone know how to fix either? |
| spencer | I uninstalled photoshop, still nothing. Its just sitting there eating up my CPU |
| Dan | Uninstall some versions of Norton and they leave the shit behind. |
| Cleaner56 | Part of the Norton package, processor power requirements are too high! |
| Nico | Indeed cpu consuming file from Norton. Guess this happens when your subscription is no longer valid. Try update with Live Update or close Norton Anti Virus... Siehe auch: Link |
| Mario R | It seems to be part of Norton Suite, seems to be uncompatible with Photoshop products, unactive, uninstall Adobe Photoshop Downloader and the CPU time usage will drop. |
| nemo | The reported Photoshop problem also affects Picasa. Kill the Picasa system tray task and cpu usage returns to normal. |
| Kevin M. Farley | Lets see here it's created by Symantec, eats up cpu and it started happening about the time my subscription ran out, Id bet if I renewed it'd probably back off the cpu. |
| Toby | It tends to be a bit of a snoop, youll notice that it tends to be more active on site that willm lends towards the entertainment field. The curious thing about it is that it tends to quit down when you began monitoring it. Almost like a child, if you ignor it, it's will likely missbehave. Check up on it every now and then and it seems to behave a little more responsibility. Then again it could just be that part of the computers intelligence that simply imitates the behavior of the one sitting there in front of it. It's as if it was racing to keep up. There now, i have it purring like a kitten. |
| Ashish Agrawal | Its absolutely safe. Norton anti virus is the best anti virus programme and it does not slow down my machine at all. |
| Joe | It's a norton antivirus auto protect file. If you want full virus protection you leave it on. It makes my computer unusable for 2 minutes after bootup. Going to disable it and find another antivirus program. |
| Kristi | I can't shut it down in processes. It eats up to much ram. Its a real bother since I no longer have nortons. |
| Crash Gunder | It can use up CPU if another proxy or service is running |
| bob | its annoying as hell, just like nortons other 100000 processes |
| Ravi Rawji | Should i end the process of navapsvc.exe? |
