C: ACCESS DENIED

[Guest]

Hello:
At start up my computer now has an error that states Norton Protection:
Attention! Access Denied, drive C: It is Dell running on Windwos xp. Do you
have any idea what this error could be from? I have looked everywhere for a
solution. At first I thought this was from my Norton Antivirus but after
reinstalling that, it still appears.

Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

This article may help. The permissions are probably incorrect.
