That happened with this computer when I had Norton. Sometimes Norton wouldn't load, which meant nothing else would work (like Internet Explorer would never open, etc). So I got McAfee. At first everything was cool, but for the past few months my computer has been sooooooooooooo slow. I thought it was adware/spyware (although McAfee doesn't find anything), but maybe it is McAfee. Thanks for the info DS.
