I upgraded to NSW and NIS with NAV 2006 and have encountered no degradation in system performance such as system freeze ups, crashes nor other problems.
Here's a list of the processes and services displayed on my system in Windows XP Pro using Task Manager: Task/Service Application memory usage Peak memory Usage NPROTECT.EXE NIS firewall 2006 5,624K 5,648K NAVAPSVC.EXE NAV protection service 1,000K 16,576K NSCSRVCE.EXE 1,124K 10,928K Peak Memory Usage In Task Manager, the peak amount (maximum) of physical memory resident inside a process since it started. Altogether NSW 2006 on my system consumes a total peak memory usage of 33,152K which compared to 523,517K of total physical ram of which only 161,748K remains after which 361,769K has been consumed by windows, background applications and other services. NSW 2006 consumes (523,517/33,152) = 15.79% of total physical memory which is negligible to me. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McPeak, Harry D.

This is the first time I haven't had software with Peter Norton's name (if not his soul) running in years. I honestly can't believe how much better my system runs; boots faster, applications load and run faster, virtually no freeze-ups, etc. I switched to AVG-free and am currently looking around for a utility suite, as much for my own amusement as anything. I'm considering System Mechanic 6. BTW, I am running XP-Pro w/ auto update enabled. Happy New Year to all of you on the List, especially those of you who have tolerated my perpetually state of newbie-ness for all these years.
