help with Programs not opening correctly

After Norton Internet Security 2009 fixed some virus problems, programs do not start up correctly. Examples are: at startup, Word 2000 gives a warning box that the correct path cannot be found; when you okay this box, Normal.dat loads up fine and the program works correctly. Another example is: at startup, Firefox loads the page "file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/" instead of the home page in options; the browser works fine otherwise. It seems that any program that is opened won't load the correct beginning page, but works fine otherwise.

Have been running NIS 2009. Also ran Spybot. No viruses found on computer. Dell Latitude D505 running Windows XP Home edition.
