I executed SysInternals Autoruns utility. It indicates for NSBU registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NAVENG\ImagePath
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NAVEX15\ImagePath
The files pointed to in the respective ImagePath registry keys are not found. They are:
\??\C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Security with Backup\NortonData\22.1.0.9\Definitions\SDSDefs\20160614.002\ENG64.SYS
\??\C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Security with Backup\NortonData\22.1.0.9\Definitions\SDSDefs\20160614.002\EX64.SYS
Folder 20160614.002 does not exist in SDSDefs. There is a folder 20160615.002. However, it does not contain either ENG64.SYS or EX64.SYS. These files do not exist in any other folder in the SDSDefs folder. This problem appears to have occurred shortly after applying the 22.7.0.75 patch released recently.
I am running Windows 7 x64 Home Edition SP1 using Norton Security at 22.7.0.75 level. Please note that I am having the "Action Center" error reported by many as well. AFAICT, Norton Security is otherwise working correctly.
Downloading and executing the latest 64-bit virus definition set did not make a difference.
Should I be worried? Should these 2 registry keys be deleted? Any solution would be appreciated.
Thanks,
