The Process Server database currently registers navw32.exe to Symantec. I might add the disclamer that a virus may also be named navw32.exe so if you don't have Norton Anti-Virus installed - you have a problem.

navw32.exe is the scanning module for Norton AV, it will only hog resources while a scan is happening. if there is no scan happening, it should not be running.

Pointless and runs at the most inopportune times. I could take it or leave it.
