want to run on startup is replaced or compromised

Well then it wont show up as verifyed. I mean if its so easy to hide a start up program from the operating system so that the operating system thinks its official and verified, then obviously it will hide it from Norton or any other product as well.

Anyway I back up my computers and have tt shark case with the hard drives side mounted so I can just slap in a new whole cloned drive from a back up if anything strikes. But so far with no norton and no firewall I havnt got a thing (cause I shut off all remote services lol ... ). Even if malware starts its can't take over anything from a remote source as the services are just not avaialable to do so. I not sure that with serivce off any program can send information back to the writer.
