IMHO NAV (and all other virus protection) sucks.  We run separate
servers...  One development server and one domain server...  Takes care
of needs like this as well as separating those who "need" virus
protection from those who know enough not to open untrusted e-mail
attachments...

On a related note, I'm using NAV on my server (also lightly used,
primarily
by me at this time) with it's real-time protection on.  I did tell it to
exclude the CVS directories (temp + repos) and I checked the "Check
exclusions before scanning" otherwise it *still* scans the file, it just
doesn't report anything if it found something.

I haven't had any problems yet--but "yet" is the key word.  I am backing
up
the repositories nightly and waiting to see what happens.  I am hoping
that
NAV can run alongside because this server is used for other purposes
than
just CVS and still needs the protection.

Supported interop with NAV would be the highest thing on my "wish list"
for
CVSNT.

I'm running NAV 2003 and CVSNT concurrently and I've had no problems for
about a month of operation. Mind you, I'm not using CVSNT extensively. I
merely use it's basic features on a regular basis. On a related note,
McAfee
and CVSNT does not work well. From my experience with McAfee v6.0 and
v7.0,
it seems that the following is the case:

v6.0 - Skip the install of McAfee Firewall and you can have CVSNT
working
alongside McAfee Antivirus.
v7.0 - This does not work in anyway. Installing just Antivirus, or both
crashes CVSNT service on any CVS command.

I have no idea what the actual cause of this bug is (I don't have the
time
to debug it - seems pretty obscure too). But I haven't enjoyed McAfee's
incessant need to reboot on virus definition updates so I haven't really
been affected by the switch to Norton.
