And its not a virus or trojan - at least according to Norton

machine and current user run keys is deleted.

So for example, the norton entry to run ccapp which gets the icon in
the system tray for autoprotect, is deleted and ccapp is not run at
startup.

Anyone ever seen this or have an idea what to look for?

Try running your A/V in Safe mode so it won't be disabled by the virus. If your A/V allows a boot scan, try that. Or try one of these free online virus scans:

This one has a choice of a Quick or a Complete check. Use the Complete option.
