As observed, nothing in the HijackThis snapshot screams "malware." HijackThis is useful for spotting common autostart items, but it is a single-time view and won't catch everything. A few targeted follow-ups will confirm cleanliness and address the recurring Norton subscription pop-up.

Recommended checks and steps:

  1. Update the antivirus product and run a full, up-to-date scan. Add a second-opinion scanner (for example, Malwarebytes Free) and run a full scan as well.
  2. Inspect all autostart points with a comprehensive tool. Autoruns from Sysinternals shows Run keys, services, BHOs, scheduled tasks and more; use the "Hide Microsoft entries" filter and review third-party items carefully. Autoruns (Sysinternals)
  3. For a simpler test, use MSConfig to disable nonessential startup items temporarily and reboot to see if the reminder stops.
  4. Check Scheduled Tasks and the product’s Account/Subscription/Notification settings for an option to silence renewal reminders. Updating the security product often removes stale reminder behavior.
  5. If the reminder cannot be turned off from the product UI, temporarily disabling the notification/autostart entry can stop the popup for testing. Create a system restore point or export the registry before making changes. Do not permanently disable services that are required for protection unless planning to reinstall or replace the product.

A final note: running multiple updated scanners and reviewing Autoruns gives the best confidence. If reminders persist despite updates and settings changes, contact the product vendor for a supported way to suppress subscription notifications or consider clean reinstall of the security suite.

I don't see anything bad in your log.

As far as the Norton notice, I find it hard to believe, but it seems that reminder can't be stopped unless you uninstall the program or update it (http://www.dealtime.com/xPR-Symantec_SYMANTEC_Norton_SystemWorks_2004_Professional~RD-158249684612, http://www.gripe2ed.com/scoop/story/2003/5/23/124055/405)

NAV Cfgwiz is a resource hog (according to this ), but they don't recommend removing it here (), so I guess it's up to you on that.

Sorry about the slow response, but it's been rather busy here lately.
