I have had this occur several times now & I DO NOT haev Norton on my system.
I have a Preasario 8000 with McAfee & ZoneAlarm. Every so often, it starts up slow
& starteak.exe eats up 99% of resources for ablout 5 minutes. Afterwards, I usually
lose the functionality of my ethernet port too. I have found that doing a system
restore to last restore point always fixes it. I can't believe compaq has no patch
for this. What does starteak.exe even do?
