NAV question

When my XP starts up, I notice that the tray icon for Norton Anti-virus is
disabled while computer boots, and then becomes enabled after the boot
finishes. Is this normal? I remember my old Win98, I think NAV was the first
thing active in the boot sequence.

Thanks

All I can say is that when I've had Norton installed, exactly the same thing
happened with me.

Are you seeing a big red cross over the tray icon, which suddenly disappears
after a few seconds of hard disk activity ?

I don't have a technical explanation why this might happen, only that it
happened to me and that nothing 'malicious' was occuring at the same time.

AFAIK ...

HTH.
