If your antivirus scanner has a background scanner it is very important that you put in the startup list. My antiviurs out of Beijing, China loads on startup and also runs a memory scan before any programs load. Very important.

Plus with or without a background scanner you will not be protected if you fail to put in the start up list. You will have to always remember when your programs load to also open your antiviurs software.

Buy a good security suite.
No it dosen't stop scanning but instead of it starting with start up you have to click it to bring it up and run the scan.Hope this helps and good luck!
There is a good chance that if you remove it from the startup list it may not check for viruses but..... It is possible that your virus scan software actually runs as a service and it will continue to run in the background even though the system tray icon is not present.
It will not protect your computer i think
If it is not in the startup list, then it will not protect your computer. If you're worried about the fact that it makes your computer start up slow, I would recommend looking into AVG Anti-Virus Free. It for one is free, does the same job that Norton Anti-Virus does, and takes hardly any memory to boot up and would speed your computer up.
