Windows 2000, Norton Systemworks 2003. All Windows updates and service packs applied. All Norton Live updates applied.

With "auto protect" ON, navapsvc.exe process is using 30-50% of CPU time and between 3520KB and 14000KB memory - it seems to be varying continuously.

With "auto protect" OFF, CPU usage is below 5%.
Uninstalling and reinstalling program did not change this behavior.

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Try running a full system scan then see what autoprotect is doing.
