Pascal Norton AV 2005 (aucun problème)
Datael Part of Norton Anti-Virus
@Damski Part of Norton AV. Personally I would regard Internet Exploder + Outlook Exmess as the two big weaknesses on any Windows system. Don't like viruses or spyware, but can't afford a Mac? Then get rid of all shortcuts to IE or OE, [you can't even uninstall them in XP, which should tell you a lot!!],and get yourself a copy of Mozilla Firefox + Mozilla Thunderbird. IE + OE are so deeply bundled with the Windows main OS that any penetration goes instantly to the very core of the system.  See also: Link

E-Info Dudes... IT comes with Norton Antivirus! Do u think that they will make a virus in an antivirus software? Symantec is trusted for its components so its not a virus or worm!
Keep it you want it to work properly....
Richard Creighton Part of Norton SystemWorks - Live Update - Norton spends a lot of time plugging holes in Microsoft OS and Browser. This program, while needed, has potential to be used against you ... not ust for subscription validation. Be sure you have the 'real' version from Symantec and not malware.
Tecra It hosed my explorer.exe (i.e. the Hour-Glass) when I right-clicked any file folder or the "Start" tool bar. I quaranteed the file any my problem disappeared. This file is from Norton Systemworks 2003 and it really hoses things up.
Clifford I have never run any symatic product on my computer and never would, there all crap yet this file snuck on my computer... I hope that company goes bankrupt soon, use Avast for Virus Scanning  See also: Link
I could not run LiveUpdate until I removed a file by this name from c:/windows/system (in safe mode) The version info did not identify symantec as the creator!
Greg malware copies its name and replaces the norton anti virus file with a trojan of the same name. this is a potentially very dangerous trojan.
Alex Talmage Comes with Norton Internet Security, only be weary if it is installed to System or System32 folder
Mike Well it appears on my computer even though we don't have Norton AntiVirus or Internet Security
Wim I had my Norton Antivirus program sacked by a virus & a trojan, I was forced to remove my Norton Antivirus program, if the file "navshext.dl" I suggest that you remove that file with security task manager, my PC works way better now :D
Howdy says "At Risk" when i scan with norton... (?!?)
Zac Yes it can come with Norton Systemworks. However I've also seen other viri/spyware masquerade as that file as well

Buggy Woogy It's related to Norton AV
doktor mit dieser Datei nötigt die Firma Norton einem den Kauf Ihres Anti-Virus-Abonnements auf. Die Datei kann nicht gelöscht werden (auf Windows XP) und verunmöglicht einen reibungslosen Betrieb des Textverarbeitungssystems Word. Billighersteller von Computern haben wohl einen Deal mit der Firma Norton gemacht in der Form, dass diese Datei vom Kauf an auf dem PC ist und man buchstäblich zum Kauf von Norton-Antivirus genötigt wird. So etwas gehöt vor Gericht!
Bob Mckinnon I had Norton Antivirus on my computer but found it caused my computer to slow and my mouse to freeze. It completes with you for CPU time. So I decided to uninstall it but didn't use the original software to do that. The software I used left a lot of components on my computer and these caused many errors and freezeups. If anyone uninstalls Norton, I suggest they use the uninstall on the original uninstall disk.
