As I told you in your earlier posts in the different thread, you do
*not* want to try and install NAV on an infected machine. Do the
Sysclean or Multi-AV scanning *first*. Then uninstall/reinstall NAV. To
completely uninstall NAV, see:

If the necessary steps seem too difficult - and there is no shame in
admitting this - take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA) for cleanup and
installation of your new NAV.
