C:\PROGRA~1\SYMANTEC\SYMEVNT.386

[then it reads the same 2 paragraphs as above, then]

C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVAP.VXD

[then those two paragraphs again]

Any idea what the heck I can do to fix this, as I have no idea what caused it or how I can go about repairing whatever is causing this shit. Thanks
All of that refers to your three antivirus programs. Start in safe mode and disable all three of the anti-virus start up programs. (They all are apparently guarding your computer at start up) restart in normal mode and choose one of them touse. With all three running in the background it will lead to problems like this and slow your computer down.
