As I said in first post, the components you need to experience this problem is XP
home, NAV and Starteak. If any of these components is removed the problem sees to
occur pretty much like to have fire you need oxygen, something burnable and heat.
Or maybe for the exception of just removing starteak.exe in an infected system. It
seems like it is enough that nav has just touched starteak.exe in an installation
to really seriously damage your system. But think about it, this is the ultimate
virus. It disables your protection and the only working solution is to format your
hd. The conclusion, I don’t really think the problem relies entirely on Compaq. I
think NAV is the key to the problem and it’s Symantec that really need do something
that is released public if they have something. But then the problem is _only_ when
you run starteak together with it.
