Yes it would appear I was not correct but neither is your statement!

Norton AntiVirus 2006
http://snipurl.com/jky7

No mention of antispyware.

Norton Internet Security 2006
http://snipurl.com/jkyb

Mentions  antispyware as new feature?

Norton Internet Security 2005
http://snipurl.com/jkys
http://snipurl.com/jkyw
Mentions  antispyware as new feature

I haven't checked whether this is typical but Norton Internet Security 2005 doesn't get a good review here:

The 2005 and 2006 versions of Norton Antivirus *DO* have antispyware incorporated.

Norton Anti Virus is the anti-virus programme, Norton Internet Security is a software firewall. However, neither programmes deal with spyware.

Another possibility is spyware activity.

System Idle is the difference between the sum of all running processes and 100%. If you are seeing a System Idle figure of 96% it means only 4% of the CPU capacity is being used.

I thank you all for interest and reply.

I run Symantec Internet Security every night regularly. So the idea of virus
should be at first, no considered, unless it is a virus unknown to Symantec.
Update is automatic.

The freezing appears for some time, not specifically timed, and disappears
the same way it came.

A loop should be the possible cause. How can I get rid of this, if I can do
it at all ??

Lately noted that it appears when I load Quicken 2001, using 96. Sometimes
System Idle Process with same use, 96.

Happy to know that CPU has Nothing with memory.

Tried get the most feed back for you all.

Most of times a simple reboot gets rid of it, but I only want to know why it
happens
