Good day Quix!

I use Norton Anti-Virus, ZoneAlarm Firewall (free edition) and Webroot Spy Sweeper.

I update patterns daily and run scans at least weekly, more frequently during virus scares.

My two computers seem to work best with that combo.

Wonderful! I have all those and Spy Hunter as well. Spy Hunter gets a lot those others all seem to miss.

How do you have Norton and Zone Alarm set? I have Zone Alarm Professional, I think and Norton System Works 2006. I think the problem the last several days was Norton fighting with Zone Alarm because somehow, inadvertantly both Firewalls got turned on together as near as I can tell.

Norton ended up corrupted anyway and took major efforts of many hours to get it uninstalled. Haven't reinstalled it yet.

The major symptom was hitting a few keys or doing even just one action and the computer taking at least 30 seconds and often 3-5 minutes before it would catch up and allow more actions. Uninstalling Norton seems to have about 75-85% fixed that but not totally.

Much appreciate your reply. Thanks big. Nice to know I have some good software. Thought so but this problem these few days has been maddening.
