Anybody Here seen Kelly?

[Pat Garard]

For some months now, I have experienced the following after installing
Internet
Security (Norton OR McAffe):

Immediate- Logon time goes from 26-30 seconds to >2minutes.
: Systray Icons intermittently fail to appear.
: Cannot RELIABLY receive e-mails (pop server
errors).
: etc
After a few days- Intermittently after Logon, no Programs will run
(Resource
bound OR blocked).
[After 5 to 10 minutes, all previously
requested programs (queued?)
[suddenly appear - this can include Task
Manager.
: Two instances of Items in 'Startup' will
intermittently appear.
:etc
: Cannot send e-mails (with attachments) of size >
150kb/170kb
(server timeouts).
: Windows Update downloads but hangs on Install.
After 7/8 days ISP connection becomes unstable (intermittent
drop-outs).

I attributed these issues to the NIS/MIS programs, since uninstalling them
fixed
all ----

but recently (only Xp Native Firewall in use) the symptoms returned for one
session - reboot fixed all - Any Ideas ???

i once had norton firewall installed for a short time cause its a very picky program u have to set up ports and all sorts of crap just to get ie to work norton internet security is the same so my advice is to not use the program.
