Hi, Jeanette.  I know someone who had Norton and she had problems with it.  She 
said it made her computer slow.  Maybe getting rid of it might help.

      hmmm, what version of windows are you running? 98? XP?  
      XP cleans up after itself pretty well I've had it on this work computer 
for over 2 years and everything still runs fairly well.  I've had xp on my home 
computer for  4 years and it is starting to slow down quite a bit. 3 or 4 
minutes at bootup.

      98SE didn't clean house very well and can drasticly slow down after a 
year or 2

      other things you might think about, is getting a cleaner for ad aware, 
spy ware, etc.  Defragging all that fun stuff.

        What else could cause computers to be slow? I have alot of memory and 
ram so It should not be slow but it is.

          Well, it's no secret JFW can at times be resource intensive. But, 
          somehow, I doubt the performance hit you take running it will be very 
          much different from if you didn't have it running. Particularly on 
          today's computers. I've run several processes I know full well are 
          more resource intensive than JFW, and this computer's nothing 
          special, but it was still fairly fast all things considered.
