It is a redundant layer of protection that causes many problems with OE.
The other components of your AV are sufficient enough to catch viruses.
It
was first marketed by Norton in an attempt to boost sales by making
people
think they would be safer, and even Norton says it is not necessary.

good point. you know why i always keep it on? this is silly, but...NAV's
symbol in the system tray has a Check mark in green if all is ok, and an
Exclimation point if something needs fixing.

turning off email scanning makes it go to exclamation mark, even though i
chose it. so now i will never know if something is wrong because of that.
but what choice do i have?

Ditch NAV and replace it with a less-troublesome & more robust AV app that
lets you (or Windows Security Center) monitor your machine's protection!
