What are your computer specs? Norton used to slow my computer down and thats why i swiched to AVG, never looked back. Its a great AntiVirus program.

I'm still running 2003 but have no problems with any time lag. Did you time it with auto protection on, then time it with auto protection off??
TwoRails PS: also, are you using straight NAV, or NAV as part of NSW?? |

If you have a machine with marginal power, Norton will take a big hit in startup performance. It does have a pretty big footprint. I would guess that if you are running XP on something any less than 500 MHZ and 256mb ram, the hit will be very noticeable. It's a price to pay for protection, if this is unacceptable to you, AVG has a lot smaller footprint.
