Typical of an incomplete uninstall, however if it isn't causing problems, it doesn't look critical. You could go to start>>>run type services.msc browse through the list created and see if there is an entry for Norton Auto-Protect Service. If there is highlight it and right click, choose properties, then under start-up chooses disabled. This should stop the service attempting to startup, and stop the error logs.

thanks, have just done that and then restarted with no error messages in the event log!! yey!!
i wonder if that will be an end to it?
