You can use BootlogXP to show you when your security software loads during the boot process. I have DiamondCS ProcessGuard and it loads extremely early in the boot process before my Antivirus loads even. It is a classic HIPS that runs in kernel mode and would not allow anything that somehow got downloaded before the AV was loaded to execute. It would block it and as soon as Windows finished loading stick a popup in the middle of my screen, where it would be impossible to miss,and demand that I tell it what to do about the new process/program that wants to start.
