Once you add Symantec (Norton) products into the mix, it gets more difficult to
determine where the disk activity is coming from. However, I assume you have had
this same startup list for more than the 48 hours that you say this problem has been
around; and many people use these same background apps without the behaviour you
are seeing. Without knowing what has changed on your system 48 hours ago when this
started happening, the best I can suggest to try to troubleshoot is to:
1. Start in Safe Mode and see if the behaviour still occurs there.
2. Do a clean boot and then re-enable items in small groups to determine when the
issue disappears and reappears.
You might also go to Start> Find> Files or Folders, select the date or span of a
couple of days when the problem first arose, and check for files modified on that or
those dates, as a clue to what might have happened at that time.
