Check for unwanted program running in the back ground...

Since you renew in June, then you should had installed the norton before... if before also lag, why renew?

At first when I installed norton I only needs 2-3 minutes to start the comp before i can connect to the internet but now i needs almost 10 minutes before i can connect to the net. i tried removing unwanted programmes and files in my comp but to no avail.

worse still, on most occasions, after i connected to the net and when norton is doing auto update my comp will hang for a couple of minutes before resuming to normal.

so may i know what can i do to counter this problem and are there better anti virus tools besides norton? thks

Kaspersky and NOD32.

Norton,McAfee and Trend Micro all 3 are known to lag the computer.

Norton is so good, that it lags.
