is this a fake? or has NAV 2002 picked up a virus in the installer??
I downloaded this on suggestion in a thread in the Deep Thought forum (application compatibility toolkit 2.6) Should I authorize this script or what?
Please think carefully about your answers, as the integrity of my system depends on it

Norton is stupid. Application Compatibility Toolkit won't do anything bad to your system.

Get PC-cillin. Only $34.95 (cheap!)

Yes, it’s my fault.

BTW, what advantage would I gain by installing it on my XP Pro?
thanks!

It can potentially enable games to run in Windows XP that wouldn't normally run even under built-in "compatibility modes".

Yes, it’s my fault.
