Norton's utilities are highly CPU intensive, particularly when scanning. More so than other antivirus software and the like I've seen. Naturally the act of virus scanning in general is intensive, it's just more noticeable with Norton.

Is this when norton is scanning? If so I noticed the same issue when I

Hi All,
I installed Norton antivirus 2006 on my desktop computer Friday morning and
I've noticed an intermittent problem like several times a day, where Jaws
just gets very sluggish for a few seconds at a time, I'm not sure if it is
Jaws or if it is the whole computer though.  I thought I'd post here in case
it is a Jaws problem and there is a solution, I'm running Jaws 7.0 with
Windows-XP home with ServicePack 2.

Incidentally I installed Norton 2006 on my laptop about 3 months ago and
have not noticed the same behavior there.

Thanks.
Troy
