Re: Norton Internet Security is bogging my computer right out

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I returned my Symantec stuff and got a full refund. The free
applications work better, don't ever expire, and have not bogged down
my system. When I called Symantec for support they could not help me
and suggested that I return the product.

I would get rid of Norton. It's notoriously well known as a resource hog.
Your hard drive space, C & E is not memory. It's storage space. Memory
refers to RAM. Too little RAM will have a significant impact on the speed
of your system but your primary problem here is all the resources Norton is
using.

I installed Norton Internet Security on my computer and immediately ran
into
problems. My computer ran incredibly slow and froze. I was able to run one
scan and remove a great deal of malicious software, although it made no
difference and my computer was still freezing. I uninstalled the NIS
program
and then my computer was running great. Norton's tech support suggested
reinstalling NIS, as soon as I reinstalled NIS all of the same problems
started again. I have uninstalled it again. I have tried all of the
suggestions Norton tech support gave me i.e. disk defrag and clean up,
virus
scan and so on. None of the suggestion from them seem to be helping when
NIS
is installed on my system.

I had my computer built by a local shop and they seem to have half of my
memory on a different driver. For example I have a 'C: Local Disk' with 58
GB
and another 'E: New Volume' with 53.8 GB. Does this have anything to do
with
why my computer runs so slow after installing NIS?

Any suggestions or ideas on how to get NIS working for me would be great.
Thanks
Monique
