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

    Did you run the Removal tool?

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

    Becaue it is scanning everything on startup.

    If I can get Norton 360 in my startup, it will be able to do a "Norton Insight Scan" on the startup menu. This would eliminate the need to re-scan everything, every time. Norton Insight finds folders, files, and programs that are "trusted" and don't need to be repeatedly scanned.

    This reduces the load on my computer.

    I completely removed Norton from my computer, ran the disk check.

    Re-installed Norton 360. Same problem.

    I have Norton 360 on my other computer, and it installed and runs perfectly. I only have this problem on this computer, and cannot figure out why.

    Note: Gerry, I have no time for your insults to Norton. Thank you.

    Thank you for your continued assistance Palcouk.
