    Not sure if this is the case, but it is possible that what you are actually
    seeing is the background downloaded virus definition update file being
    unpacked.

    I personally use EzTrust antivirus. On occassion, if I am doing something on
    the PC, it slows things enough to see the unpacking dialogue which is just a
    progress window.

    Like I say - could be different with Norton. Perhaps it does the unpacking
    totally invisibly.

    Hope this helps.
