Re: Norton Internet Security 2007

If you installed this software, you need to take the time to learn all of the options that are available to set it up properly.

It's likely that Norton is set to scan the entire hard drive every time you start the computer. You need to disable this option.

I don't know if this the proper forum but I didn't know where else to
turn. I recently installed Norton's Internet Security 2007 and ever
since the performance of my machine has gone down the drain. It
literally takes over 10 minutes to boot up. It's way too
coincidental that this performance problem began after installing
this software. Does anyone have an idea what Norton might be doing
that's causing this bogged down performance?
Thanks
