balloon) everytime I power on my laptop. Its something to do with Symantec
Antivirus...

1. Try updating NAV. Look on their site.
2. If you've told Security Center *not* to send you alerts and it
insists on ignoring your wishes, disable the service.

Start>Run services.msc [enter]

Scroll down to the Security Center service, double-click it to get its
properties, stop the service and disable it.
