Norton AV

I am running ME. Have 2 HDs WD40g and WD80g. The 80 is a
copy of the 40 using Western Digital EZ-Install. When I
try to do a virus scan using NAV the 80g goes into a
seemingly endless loop finding multiple non existant
subfolders in Windows\Application Data\Earthlink\Media\.
The 40g drive does not do this. NAV scans and finds no
virus, etc. on it. Deleting this folder on the 80 and
copying it from the 40 yields the same problem. ???? I
find little or no enthusiasm for NAV scanning the
newsgroup. Must be a better answer.
Thanks !!!

Yup - there's a better answer (get any other AV than NAV) = then post back

You mean the 80GB is an "image" of the 40GB one ? You're confusing the
AV by running it on the image, since all the registry pointers are
technically wrong. If you're only using the 40GB live then just scan the
40GB.

No, the 80 is "copy" of the 40 and is bootable and is
booted as the primary drive "C:". I can disable the 40g in
the bios and it still behaves as reported. Only the 80
appears on the system.

Thanks,

Sorry, I don't get it... but... have you run Scandisk on both of these
drives recently ?

perhaps FDISK/MBR if you're not running a boot-manager or overlay software.

Semi-embarrassing to admit, but, I have a 10.2G and 8.4G HD's.....the 8.4 is
a mirror of the 10.2. Using NAV and have no problem scanning each or both.
I use the 8.4G "mirror" in case of an emergency of unrestorable degree.
Heirloom, old and will lose NAV in Sept, Noel
