Personally I prefer SAV Corp. over NAV. I have been using it on mine and a few client's networks since v.8.0.
Smaller footprint, seems to use less resources on the PC, a lot less bloat than NAV, anti-virus signature files updated daily, when installed on a network you can centrally manage all of the SAV clients from the SAV console on the designated server PC.
I also like the ability to lock the SAV client settings... prevents users from disabling functions or changing settings without permission.

NAV takes me at least 2 hours to install, sometimes not finishing, but when it does finish it is supposed to run the configuration wizard, but instead two of its processes hog the CPU and nothing happens. Otherwise it is prone to failure, and when that happens, a reinstall of the OS, not NAV, is in order to get it working again.
.. and SAV works almost flawlessly and gives me no troubles. |

NAV 2007 is a lot different from previous version and in fact there is no version of NAV that I know of in the past 6 years that took 2 hours to install. I think your PC might have some "issues". My take between the two is NAV 2007 since it has the most recent technology like rootkit detection and removal. SAV was last updated well over a year ago I believe.

I've tried [NAV & SAV (corp)10.1.5] and NAV takes:
Longer to load up
Uses up more space [has more files]
Uses more resources/has more processes running
SAV loads up in ~10" uses less space & resources
As long as I'm able, I'll use SAV [I get it free from my employer] |
