I see with Norton that the Floppy Drive needs to boot before the program starts. Avast and AVG don't have this but why Norton?

What exactly do you mean by "the Floppy Drive needs to boot"?

Darn it! sry about that. Type-O

Ok, whqat I "Meant" to say was that the Floppy Drive would always blink on before Norton started on my computer. I'm wondering why it does it only with Norton and not Avast or... AVG. Not that it matters though. Just wondering after all

I imagen it's happening as the program starts, rather than before it. Perhaps it's just checking to see if there is anything in the drive that may need including in scans. Or maybe even just checking to see what drives exist.

After my second email to AVG (Grisoft) telling them how this also effects cached web pages, they now say they will try to find a "workaround".

Here is the latest reply (including my email):
