Mcafee has oil change
but I was wondering if I used that If I would have any issues due to having Norton Sys wrks with NAV installed

I looked a little more carefully at the the clinic and sure nuff it is oil change, plus oil change is not supported in XP or NT4.

I have XP on my machine and for drivers and XP of course, it has done a decent job of keeping me up to date.

I did some more scrounging around and oil change looks to be a sole provider.

I do not know if it would conflict with norton, they make no mention of it, maybe someone else has tried and give us some guidence

you did not so much lose cathch up as they stopped providing the service, I looked at the link briefly - and for $500.00 I think I would set up a favorites folder with the pages for all the software apps and just check periodically.
