Hi All,
I bought a new laptop recently w/ XP Home. It used to
boot very quickly, but now it takes much longer. The two
programs I have to wait for are Norton AV, and Norton IS.
However, they used to load quite quickly as stated
before. I have run virus scan, which turns up nothing. I
have performed no other installs other than critical
updates. Any opinions would be appreciated.
 
This bulletin may be applicable if you have Norton installed:

After updating to the January 7th or 8th virus definitions, your computer slows
down and Microsoft Word and Excel will not start
