There are different components or sensors you can add. To test how this
would react with Outpost on my Win98 machine, I just opened System
Doctor, with Outpost active and my machine promptly locked up. Hard
reboot required. That suggests that Outpost and System Doctor (and maybe
NOD32 and BOClean)are not compatible. I'd disable it; it buys you
nothing, anyway. Unless you are too lame to remember maintain your system
without prompts :).

 Here is my system startup files: Adobe Gamma Loader, Norton

Do you mean Microsoft FastFind? The Toolbar should be no problem, but
disable FastFind.

A component of Norton AntiVirus. Open the options icon on the SysWorks
task bar, select Norton AntiVirus and under the Systems menu, you'll see
script blocking. If enabled, disable it. Unless you go to porn sites or
other sites that could carry embedded, hostile scripts, you won't need
it.
