THANKS for your help, guys !

Jolly - I followed your suggestion, and I found this file: 
NUMCompatibilityCheck, which sounds as though it is the exact file 
that is making the check, and giving the message that I posted.  I 
deleted it from the start-up folder.

Kynan - many thanks for the tip on searching in the System.

I can now say that there is no file with "Creator" = PNsd (thanks, 
flipper) anywhere on my Mac.

At start-up, there is no message anymore.

Norton-free at last !

regards,  Trevor
