Lee said:Install startup control panel here
Run through catagories and remove it.
As for DCOM disable that also as very few applications use it now days.
It's here.

If you don't mind seeing DCOM errors in the system portion of the event viewer then all you really need to do is disable the windows service for NCP.
Start, Run, services.msc
Look for Norton Protection Center
Right click, properties
Change startup type to disabled
Click stop
Apply
OK
Symantec has once again told me it cannot be disabled (which is a lie) and recommended that you don't disable it using this method because it is a tightly integrated part of NIS 2006.
Dublex said:Your right, madmatt, NIS06 does use the same Protection Center. It just reports that different parts of the system are not optimised (Data recovery, de-junk files).
I'm not a amazon.co.uk sales person, but if you want to renew NIS 06 or buy it in the UK, do it now, as its only £25 - cheaper even than the upgrade to 06 route that I could have taken as I also have a license for 05. Amazon must be doing a special on that product at the moment.
It's just an error when the service fails to start. If you are fine with the error showing in your event viewer then it's not a problem.failurbydesign said:so should i do that, whatsthe error about? i have nsw 06..
