msconfig shows many services stopped

Norton is the first thing that gets neutered... use an online scan here

click scan you pc button at the bottom.

Unless... are you sure you didn't stop these services... or someone else? If you reboot, do they remain stopped? What about in safe mode?

what's next

I've run both norton and ms spyware scans and also ran the everest program you mentioned. the scans came up clean. Here's the output from everest: What's next?

Well I tried to send you the everst report but its 183000 kb and I can only put 10,000 on the message. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see?

run panda as above.

what else?

I have run panda also and it too comes up clean. I notice that scriptblocking is STOPPED but Norton security says its enabled. As for the others, I just don't know what they are. Can I have them not running at all i.e. not loaded? JUst seems like a lot of stopped services. Does it increase the boot up time? Do they take up any system resources? Does it matter? Would the system be cleaner and more efficient if these stopped services were removed?

How do you monitor and clean up what services are running or stopped?

the title says it all

cool tool but I don't think it shows hidden files

Well, once again it seems that NORTON is a piece of garbage. It says it's scanning 600,000 and there are in fact only a little over 100,000 including hidden files!!!! We should all get together buy symantec (the company) and put it out of business!

rss if all those services where truly stopped, you wouldn't be able to run Norton.... or much else. So either this is a windup or a joke program.

Do they show up as stopped in safe mode?

NTBTLOG shows many drivers not loading

Hi,

My NTBTlog.txt file shows many drivers not loading. Is this normal behavior? Does this make the boot up take longer or cause other problems? Is there away to only load the drivers that are suppose to be loaded? Here's the NTBTlog:

seems like it keeps trying to load the same drivers. Is there a way to haveit not load these drives? The system seems to be working properly without them. also, will this shorten my boot time?

rss how many machines are you posting about? If these drivers are not loading, then the system is running effectively in safe mode.

I don't think that's correct. When you look at the stopped services none of them look vital.

Hi, same machine but it is not running in safe mode as far as I can tell. But maybe that;s the problem. Can you generate the ntbtlog.txt file when you're not in safe mode or is that only an option when you are in safe mode? I generated the log yesterday.

I'm not 100% sure, but Norton doesnt see files as files, if that makes any sense :p

Personally I never have had a problem with NAV, its AV had always kept my pc's virus free.

ok so first thing to do is combine these threads since these problems are related.

bootlog analyser may be of use to you

creating a bootlog is no trick of a particular mode, you turn it on in msconfig or with command line switches.
