Norton autostart

When I run Revo Uninstaller Pro Autorun Manager, all the following Norton applications are listed.

Antimalware Migration Task (by Norton), Norton 360 Autofix, Norton 360 Error Analyser, Norton 360 Error processor, Norton WSC Integration, Norton WSC Service.

Are they all necessary?

Task manager runs at 100% disk usage, and Norton seem responsible.

Running Windows 10.

If you are allowing your computer to sleep or hibernate Norton will check for issues when the computer resumes. Its a normal process Norton designed into their product, and should abate once the tasks complete. If they do not there COULD be a larger issue at hand such as possible malware on the system, hardware issues. 

Norton 360 Auto-fix, provides a way for repairing corruption in your Norton product through its automated built-in process:

Antimalware Migration Tasks - Although the main topic isn't the same as yours it perfectly explain what this task does when a user "logs onto the system":

Norton 360 Error Analyzer / Norton 360 Error processor - Runs to check your Norton installation for errors which are logged in your Norton history and then reports those errors to Norton in the background.

If you haven't done to already run live updates and make sure no updates are pending on your Norton product. The below services will run regardless of the state of the computer while its being used.

I realise that all the listed are legitimate Norton processes, but why should they all auto start when I open computer?

I feel most should only run when I action Norton.

Hello again. Just following up to see if we can assist further.

Hello KENSTARICK. Those are ALL legitimate processes of Norton which are used for the product to correctly function. A 100% disc read/write usage isn't necessarily caused by a single process unless it is the result of potential viral infection. What specific process is listed as the 100% disc usage offender in Task Manager? Please post a screenshot for review if possible. Here is how:
