Hi sylar:

That has to do with Norton Tamper Protection.  It means that system services are accessing Norton files for some reason.  Norton is allowing it but logs the information.  Not a worry.

thanks for replying.so its safe to say its not a trojan or virus?and is it normal for system services to access norton files?

Hi sylar,

Yes, this is normal behaviour. You can also read more on services.exe over here in the Process Library:
