What Is My Av Software Doing During System Idle Time?

There are times when my laptop is sitting idle, without a connection to the internet, when all of a sudden, the disk will go crazy for a couple of minutes. I checked Task Manager, and the services for my AV software (Norton) are doing things. What things are they doing? The latest one was a couple hours after I had just updated my defs and done a clean scan, so what on earth could it be checking?

Tax Cut Software Problems. How To Report Them?

I found an error in the Michigan form MI-1040CR and I can not figure out how to contact HR TaxCut people to get it fixed as I am sure I will not be the only one with this issue. Does anyone know how to contact them and report problems? They do not make it easy nor obvious. Seems like they would like to know about issues with their software.
