Hi

I have been having a problem with my machine for sometime, basically on startup W2000 became very slow.
I found out that WINLOGON.EXE was using a large amount of processor % for a long period of time.

With the help of BCASTNER in the W2000 forum we identified that the delay was being caused by Norton Autoprotect trying to scan two files.

If I disbled the Autoprotect from starting at boot up the PC became much faster.

I have these two lines in the event viewer ;

Symantec AntiVirus Auto-Protect could not scan file C:\WINNT\System32\ati3d1ag.dll for viruses due to low kernel stack.

Symantec AntiVirus Auto-Protect could not scan file C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\SYMANT~1\IDS\IDSSettg.dat for viruses due to low kernel stack.

So I have added these two files including full paths to the exclusion list for autoprotect - but they keep being scanned.

Can anyone help ???
