Im not sure that i understand you here. Nortons auto protect doesn't start on its own? Did you check the option "to start with windows" in Nortons options?

And it also starts fixing something when you enable auto protect?

Hi charles, i use Avast home edition which can be downloaded here http://files.avast.com/iavs4pro/setupeng.exe, it is a 60-day trial, but all you need to do is register and it is FREE, register here http://avast.com/i_kat_207.php?lang=ENG, for a free registration code, avast is a gr8 anti-virus which offers gr8 protection for more info on it visit http://www.avast.com. hope this helps, urs dave

Hi,
Took your advice and got Avast,could not see if it scanned E-Mails,do you know if it does?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Yup , it also scans email:

avast! 4 Home Edition is a complete antivirus solution, fully able to find computer viruses, to create and check the integrity of programs installed, to test executed programs and opened documents, to test and check email and other functions. Scanning is also available in the shell extension and screen server.

You could also give avgfree a test:

Also a very good AV , and free.

But neither have any real utilitys , was there something specific that you where looking for? Or did you mean things like an email scanner?
