missing files

Recently Symantec stopped giving virus updates to my version of norton anti-virus. They stopped the annual subscription and said that I would have to buy a whole new package in order to continue receiving updated defs. Slightly miffed, I deleted it all and am now using AVG. On boot up however the pooter now says that the registry or system ini. refers to a couple of files that no longer exist. They are norton program files, 2 of them,
.........symevnt386, and a navap, something. How do I get rid of this? I've tried to locate them but no luck so far........any suggestions gratefully received. The operation of the computer is unaffected, this just appears at boot up.

What I would do is go into the Registry editor, click on Edit/Find and type in the name of the file - it should be in there somewhere!
