Did you use Norton antivirus in this computer before?

no, never (i don't want this shit on any computer...bad feeling about norton 2000).  it's a new windows xp installation and avast and the os are update.

Can you try if the latest beta version solves this?
Download the updater (http://files.avast.com/files/beta/aswbeta.exe) and run it or go here for more information.
