I don't have actual prove of it, but from my personal experience I feel Norton Security Suites consume A LOT of system resources such a memory. Using Norton used to make my PC very slow and not-so-responsive, kinda like shit crawling up the stairs in the winter...so IMHO Norton is a piece of shit. I leave the Norton's and McAfee's (suffers from the same thing) be, cause there's plenty light-weight security suites that deliver the goods even better then Norton/McAfee in terms of security.

Norton can be a memory hog, how much RAM do you have? I'd recommend an absolute minimum of 512mb. Ideally you should have 1GB or more of ram.
