Norton does slow down a system. SpySweeper with AV, or Trend Micro, do not do it to the same extend.
Mcafee is just about as bad as Norton.
Maybe someone knows a setting?
Norton uses a constantly-active heuristic prediction system that can be a pig on resources on weaker systems.
Uninstall Norton, and install Avast! with both program and definition updates.
I might just have to try that. Thanks guys.

Oh baby - talk dirty to me some more!
Be sure you completely uninstall Norton before installing any other protection suite. You think it is slow now? Two virus protection programs can make it crash at ALL sorts of inconvenient times.
