Norton products are IMHO horrible. They clog up your system and are next to impossible to uninstall without editing the registry. To run Scandisk or Defrag without those messages, start in Safe Mode (usually press F8 while rebooting and select Safe Mode) then start Scandisk or Defrag, then when done, restart in Normal Mode.
