I would strongly advise against attempting to disable it as it is designed to protect you. Usually when it pops up it means that Windows will not be able to run normally/stably if you proceed without opting to have Vista fix it, which is an option. My advice is to let it do it's job and then try to determine what triggered it, preventing the problem from occurring instead of ignoring it.
In this case, I would suggest:
1.) Uninstall Norton and the other "stuff." Some security software scans for the presence of competing products it may conflict with and fail to install properly, causing a problem.
2.) Install the applications one-by-one to determine which one is causing the 'problem.'

I've become very fond of Open Source applications on my XP machines. My father recently purchased a Dell PC with Vista Home Premium and it came pre-loaded with a lot of 30/60/90 day evaluation licenses (Norton and a bunch of Microsoft stuff). I convinced him he could get the functionality he required from Open source apps and installed some of my favorites - Avast Antivirus, Adaware, Spybot, Open Office, Thunderbird and Firefox. Everything loaded and appeared to run fine. we shut down and moved the system to it's permanent location and rebooted .. "Vista has found a problem with your system, would you like to fix?" Without being familiar with Vista, my natural response was "yes". Bad move - the "problem" Vista appears to have found was that my father wasn't likely to be forking over $$ to purchase licenses of the evaluation software, and it kindly removed all of the apps I'd installed.
Is there a way of disabling this "feature" in Vista?
