NIS 2004, internet acces is slowing down

[Michael G. Schneider]

On Windows XP I use Norton Internet Security Professional 2004. The
AntiVirus is not installed, instead Norton AntiVirus Corporate 8.1 is used.

If NIS is activated, acessing the internet/intranet is much slower than if
not activated. It is about 4 times as slow.

I tried deactivating the subcomponents (Personal Firewall, Intrusion
Detection, Privacy Control, ...), but none helped. I have to deativate NIS
entirely for speeding up.

If NIS is deactivated, the web page builds immediately (tested with an
intranet application). But if it is activated, first the page is shown, then
the variaous images appear one after the other. There is a notable
difference in speed.

Does anybody have a hint, what might be slowing things down? It would be
fine, if I could reach full speed just with intranet applications.

I had the same issue. I had previously used NIS 2001/2/3 and found it to
work well. However, with 2004, I could only get pages to load at a normal
speed, if I reduced the various security settings to low.

In the end, I went with Norton Anti Virus 2004 together with Zone Alarm Pro.

Do you remember, which settings were important? Until now, I can only make
the connection fast, by deactivating NIS entirely.
