Norton didn't actually check if the startup entry is broken or deleted. The 
message actually appears when one of the norton services fails to start 
because it depends on the broken (deleted) startup. And what happens next, 
is that all the bunch of services that explicitly depend on that failed to 
start service, also fail :) and this kind of "precaution" seems to sound 
more like "I should better get McAfee or smth else, at least better than 
that". Happily this instability is caused by manipulation on startups that I 
did myself and I did backup the startup or at least I know what should be 
written there in the registry, but really, if that was a virus doing these 
things, then spending money on buying the product was obviously a big 
mistake.
I don't even remember why I've abandoned McAfee, guess, just because Norton 
sounded "cooler", well, I was wrong. Whatever I did to McAfee, whichever 
things I've deleted in registry or startup folders, scheduled tasks, it 
always worked find and did its job.
