Slow Startup/NIS & NAV by Pyroteq on 08-31-2004 at 01:18 AM

Just installed Norton Anti-Virus 2003 Proffessional Edition and Norton Internet Security 2003 and now my computer is extremly slow to startup and marginly slower when its running, is there a way to fix this up? (I've allready minimised the amount of programs on startup using msconfig)

Sadly any product from Norton seems to be a resource hog. Sorry this post probably isn't what you wanted to hear.

How much physical RAM do you have in the computer?
Might want to try this program instead of msconfig. Click HERE for website.

Also, Whats your OS?  I had a BIT of slowness with Norton, I configured the options though and increased my virtual memory and now it starts really fast.  Of course, I touched my virtual memory settings, Windows doesnt manage them for me anymore :p.
