WJView error

[Puzzled]

I am trying out Norton 2004 Pro edition. I did a system
scan. It caught some spyware/adware.

Since then, when I boot up XP Home edition, I get an
error: Looking for WJViewer. I click ok and it continues
to load up ok.

Is WJViewer spyware/adware?

Thanks,

It's due to a startup entry which is not removed by NAV:

"WJView Error at Startup":

WJview is the interface program of the Microsoft (Java) Virtual machine,
used to run Java programs. This was probably a piece of nasty written
in Java that an AV or anti-spyware program has removed, leaving the
WJView sitting there with nothing to launch.

Start - Run and run MSConfig.exe
Look in the Startup page for a line that has WJView in the Command
column - you may need to drag the divider to its right in the headers so
as to see enough. Uncheck the line, and perhaps also check what was the
Java program, after the wjview.exe on the line.

OK out, don't bother to reboot now, but next time you do there will be a
panel come up about 'you are using the System Configuration tool' -
check the 'don't show again' box and Exit
