Without warning, after months on problem free use, my
system has gone from a high speed one to a turtle. I'm
running Windows XP Home and have Nortons Internet Security
2003 installed. If i uninstall the Nortons, everything is
fine but that leaves me without virus protection and no
decent firewall.

Any ideas?

HELP!
 
Right-click on your IE desktop icon and select:
Properties > Advanced and scroll down to the
Security heading. Uncheck the box next to
"Check for publisher's certificate revocation"
and click "apply" and reboot.

It appears that all the NAV files are signed with a certificate
that expired 1/7/2004. Every time it tries to use a file, it's going
out to VeriSign to see if it's really expired and if there's a new
certificate available. Hopefully Symantec to correct this issue soon.
