Rhis error due to there is a resident virus or your system infexted by virus already. for the main time try to install other antivirus. you can get it here for free: http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
And then scan your system. You can remove the sysmantec if you like AVG or you can reinstall the symantec if there is no error in your system. remove either of the two antivirus to avoid conflict in the system.

Hi,
It would seem that at one time Symantec AntiVirus was installed in your PC. Part of its protection design is to ingrain itself within the shell of windows explorer. There is a possibility that the program was forcibly removed by folder delete and not through the usual uninstall as you posted. Remnants of the program are still present/active and were not uninstalled.
A couple of things you can try:
1. Install Symantec AntiVirus again and then uninstall using the auto/complete option;
2. Install Norton Utilities and run WinDoctor, after scanning, click "Repair All";
3. Install WinOptimizer and and run using User Defined option, check everything and start, delete erroneous entries;
4. go to Start, Run, type "msconfig" without the quotes, in the Startup tab, uncheck all references to Norton or Symantec;
5. go to Start, Run, type "regedit" without the quotes, in the Registry Editor press Ctrl + F, type "Symantec" in the Find what, click on Find Next, delete all instances. This is of course assuming that you do not have any other Norton/Symantec programs essential to your PC and that you have taken the usual precautions of registry backup, system restore point.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things are or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
If you installed any program during this period or did any changes to the windows files, you might have caused a conflict that corrupted the anti virus files.
Try uninstalling the antivirus and any recent installations and reinstalling the antivirus.
Then update through the net update.
Good luck.
