Sounds a bit dodgy to me, testing virus software... Could get a virus without the software picking it up, then how would you report the bug?!

Yea testing new virus software doesent sound like the brightest thing to do...but to each his own i sappose....ill just stick with the NAV coperate edition

Plus it needs to be cracked. It expirers in 30 days.

cya,

will

Im sure someone wont take too long to crack it, lol. Crackers dont normally take too long

Now why would you want a cracked beta? Beta software is buggy! You can always wait for a retail final to *cough* leak on the net

I know but I'm sure someone will. New beta will come at later anyways. Most likely before 30 days.

Norton 2002 was released end of last summer, and this end of summer is nearing... and that'll be when the beta stage of NAV 2003 is finished. That's one full year gap from their last AntiVirus release. so what's the problem?
