My P-IV takes a full 3 minutes to boot. One of the last TSRs to load
is the virus protection. For obvious reasons I'd prefer it to load
earlier rather than late. Informed thoughts welcomed & thanks ...
 
I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that your antivirus program is one of
the very first things to load. That's the way any decent antivirus
program works. On the other hand, the user interface for your antivirus
program can be among the very last things to load, because you don't
need to access the program while Windows is loading.
 
Well it's Norton AV 2004, which displays a small icon in the bottom
screen bar on the right, showing with the other TSRs, but it's about
the last to pop up near the end of the 3 minutes ...
 
Did you get what I said about the difference between the guts of an
antivirus program and the program's user interface? Software firewalls
work the same way.
 
That's the common client event manager, not NAV itself. But you are in fact
correct in a way, if ccevmgr.exe is not allowed to load, NAV would be
disabled.
Never tried to frontload ccevntmgr.
