so if I leave 2k running for a while, eventually some process, that I assume is norton's autoprotect thingy starts leaking 60+ megs of ram, and I cant kill it (access denied). Anyone else have similar probs.

The name of the process is
NAVAPSVC.EXE w/ 9 hours cpu time (computer been running 2 days?) and 66,212 K of ram.

Ussually if I restart this fixes things, Im live updating now to see if that helps, but Ive live update often, and this has been going on for quite some time.

in order to stop nav autoprotect u have to stop 2 services:
nav alert
nav auto-protect
(start>ctrl panel>admin.tools>services might want to set them to manual while u r there)
then kill the process in task mngr

I use the NAV myself. but never noticed any memory leak.
And my machine is always on and operating there are FTP calls from my friends, It constantly DL'databases and stuff from servers and about 200 e-mails a day.
so NAV is always scanning new stuff.
Have you tryed re-installing NAV?
