Thanks for the update, do the logs tell you what spyware was doing this?

HI BB
looking at the log the one that sticks out looks to be a Microsoft thing but
was the thing causing the problem, they were :

- found: Windows Security Center.AntiVirusOverride Settings
- found: Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify Settings


I really don't know if they were fake windows or real windows stuff but now
NAV activates on startup ....

Spyware isn't all bad if it disables Norton products.. almost as good as
ADD/REMOVE.. :-)
