Win-XP pro. NAV from Norton System Works 2002.

Script blocking service is "automatic" but doesn't seem to be started
when the system starts. It will start when told to do so manually,
but about 10 seconds later it stops.

Have searched previous posts (this issue seems to date back to at
least late 2001) but can't find any satisfactory answer. Some posts
indicate it has something to do with script-blocking interferring with
IIS or web server functionality. I am not running IIS or any such web
server on this particular box.

Is it normal for the script-blocking service to be "stopped", even
when it's set to automatic? Is it normal for it to stop when started
manually? (just what is stopping it when it is started?).
