Norton Antivirus

i was having the same problem so i changed my antivirus to avast which is fast when compared to norton....i m using the pcin home so its gud only......

we the same problem with norton anti virus..so i decided to changes..norton use lot of memory..even when you restart your pc..takes long time to boot..norton antivirus is so strict makes computer slow..it is good protecting for viruses but there are some viruses that norton cant detect like .eml virus. it is nimda that broke my computer a months ago. even i have norton. so i changes it

It is indeed very much true that norton antivirus does slow down your system. I have been using it in the past for quite some time and had to struggle hard to keep my system run fast. I could not find any solution to make it run faster when norton is running. So, i decided to stop using it and now i am using Avast antivirus which is free to use and it does not slow down my computer and does its job quite effectively these days. I would suggest you to try that for a few days and if you are satisfied with it you can continue.

yes i had it long ago and used to have same problems with it and it has a lot of bugs too, like when ever you open any documents, it starts installing word.....and when i tried to uninstal it, it screwed my windows and i had to instal windows all over again. I use McAfee now, its a lot better and lighter

Norton anti virus eats your computer resources like hell..... it'll slow your computer to a crawl unless you have tons of gigabytes of rams use other anti virus that are lighter on resources and won't eat up as much memory like Norton does

I used Norton antivirus 4 years back, and had similar problems. When I ran it, the program itself was very slow, and scanned for a very long time. And, after the scan stopped, the system became very slow, and I had to restart it. When that edition of norton expired, I didn't use the new edition, just because of that. Now I am using Avast, which is not that good, but doesn't makes my PC slow.

Yes, it did indeed slowed down my computer some time back, it would take ages to load a page or open a word document for me. So, i uninstalled it and started using free version software called Avast and now there is no such problem for me, maybe you could also try this. By the way you won't get all the features available in Norton in avast because the former is paid and the latter is free and you will have obvious drawbacks for choosing free software, if you can bear it then you can use the free AVast version without any hesitation.

I had this problem with each and every antivirus I tried, untill I found norton corporate, I am using it since its 7th version was on, now its 10th version, and perhaps within a year we can find the next version, its very different from normal norton antivirus, if u still think that 10th version is slowing down ur windows, u just install its 8th version !

Me too, my computer slows down since i use norton antivirus. My friend said that my computer was slow down because norton antivirus was running in the background and it was use a lot of memory, so your computer slows down maybe because your much of your memory were used by norton antivirus. So i uninstall norton antivirus and changed it to norman virus control which use less memory.

we have a similar problems, for me as an I.T. Using Norton antivirus is slow down the computer system. I would like to suggest to use a new Antivirus program, i suggest McAfee version 8.0i and you will the effects after you uninstall the noron Antivirus.

You are not alone...I also encountered the same problem way back when I was using NAV 2005. The reason for this is that it loads up too many processes which eats up your RAM. Unless you have a pretty big memory space, your system will remain slow unless you replace Norton with other anti-virus program. Try NOD32, it will definitely increase your system performance.

if you want to have a much more reliable antivirus and that doesn't eat up system resources try nod32.it's fast,eats up less resources and cleans effectively. ^_^

The old one's did have a problem, but the latest norton security suite is the fastest to get released this year.
