First off, follow Colin's suggestion about scheduling Norton to
run a scan. Let us know if you have a problem.
Now for the real problem:
When your computer starts, do you have to enter a user name and
password or are you logged on automatically?
If you're logged on automatically then I think the reason your
having problems with the Task Scheduler is that you're using the
wrong password.
Let's see if I understand the problem you're having.
You're able to start the Scheduled Task wizard.
You select the program you want to run and setup a schedule.
You enter your password twice and click Next.
You click on Finish.
When you do this a box pops up titled Task Scheduler with a
yellow triangle on the left.
In the box is the following text:
The new task has been created, but may not run because the
account information could not be set.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the task.
If this is what's happening then there may be a problem with the
password you're using. Try the following:
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts.
Click on the icon that represents your account.
Click on "Change my password".
Enter the password you've been using to setup scheduled task in
the first line.
Enter the same password in the next two lines.
Enter a hint if you want.
Let us know if a box pops up that says "The password you typed is
incorrect. Please retype your current password".
