Check that all referencies to Norton have been uninstalled.
Remove Norton
Check what's running at startup.

Hi

All reference to Norton have now been uninstalled, but the PC is still very slow booting up. Is there anything else that I need to do?

Hi slow bootup or slow system??
Checking your last post Jan08 your system was cleaned by one of our Hjt log experts.
Hopefully it's still clean.
