Question Symantec AV 10- new process running

I recently upgraded from version 9 to 10.
And now, as winxp loads, this process - doscan.exe runs @80% of cpu power, for something around 2 mins, then it closes itself.
1)Is it normal?
2)What does it do?
3)Do i need him?
4)If not, can i disable?

Why don't you ask Symantec. I mean you need to shell out at least 500 USD for the corporate version of SymantecAV. Surely you should get some support with that.

It's an auto-generated startup scan, go in the startup scans menu and right click on it, then delete it.

I haven't use Symantec Norton in a long while but it's probably new processes to better protect your computer.

Personally I would uninstall Norton and go with another anti-virus software.

It's not Norton, it's another AV made by another team from Symantec, it's for professionals.
