I went to "MSCONFIG" and a program that needs to be there to operate properly, is not there. I don't see a way to add a program.

I went to services.msc. And the program is listed as STARTED and under startup item, it says AUTOMATIC.

So how do I get it into "MSCONFIG" on the startup menu ??

go to C:/ the search start menu, then wait for a folder Icon to pop up, while waiting make and/or copy a shortcut of the program and then when you see the start menu folder open it then programs (a folder in it) then start-up, paste the short-cut

    I will let you know after I use the removal tool and do a clean install.

    I contacted them for the link to the removal tool, and it is:

    www.symantec.com/nrt

    I cannot use it for 48 hours due to the symantec server having issues.

    Did you run the Removal tool?

    If not then your uninstall and reinstall did not address the probable causes.

    I am unable to use that removal tool as it is for Vista and XP only. I use Windows 7.
