Computer Starting to Slowdown!!!? The Pete <peter_neidhardt[ at ]rogers.com> 13.07.2007 09:52:03 My computer is approximately 2 months old and now has just recently started to slow down after 3-4 hrs of use after each bootup. I have scanned for viruses, malware/spyware, uninstalled unecessary programs, defragmentized the hard drive, run diskcheck and cleared cookies and temporary files from Internet Explorer. After a few hrs the system slows down substantially thus making it difficult to browse the net and switch inbetween programs. I am currently running: Windows XP SP2 (with all updates), Pentium Core Duo 2.4ghz, 2 Gigs of Ram, Norton Internet Security. Any thoughts?

This one's about Vista. :-) Seriously though, I know many people experience slowness when they use Norton products on their PC. Try to disable NIS and see if you still see the slow down after a couple of hours. If not, it's time to look for alternatives for NIS. :-) -- Kind regards, Mark Veldhuis.
