I know you already removed NAV, but here is the procedure to disable the
Auto-Protect advanced option anyway for others (1535 is the magic #, you
might want to try re-installing NAV & performing these steps)
(Is your pagefile also being MOVED on each reboot?)

1. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV).
2. Click on Options.
3. Double click on Auto-Protect under System.
4. Click on Advanced.
5. Under 'How to increase Windows start up protection' uncheck 'Load
Auto-Protect during system boot'.
6. Click on OK.
7. Restart the computer and check whether the issue persists.

To check whether your Norton AntiVirus is working properly, you can perform
an EICAR test. Refer to the link provided below to perform an EICAR test:
