My processor is over 2 gigs, I don't remember exactly, and I have 512 megs of memory. I do have a lot of stuff that starts on boot up, some of it I don't need anymore, so I might try disabling some of that stuff at start up and see if that makes a difference. There just must be a big difference in the way that Norton 2003 runs and the way that 2006 does as far as how much resources it takes up because I have been using Norton 2003 without a problem up until this weekend.

I used to have this problem with Norton when I only had a 256 MHz computer and 128 RAM. Now that I have a 2 GHz computer and loads of RAM I don't notice it as much unless I have a lot of stuff going at once, for example, the other day I was listening to a pod cast and answering e-mail when Norton did its scan, definitely had some slowing then but normally I don't get that any more.

If so I noticed the same issue when I use to have norton.
