Using Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition

Configuring Startup Scans
Some users supplement a scheduled scan with an automatic scan
whenever they start their computers. Often, a Startup Scan is restricted to
critical, high-risk folders, such as the Windows folder and folders that store
Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel templates.
Note:
If you create more than one Startup Scan, the scans will run
sequentially in the order that they were created.

In the Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition main window, in the left
