It's possible that you need an update:

Symantec products and Microsoft Windows Vista compatibility

Remove Norton from your system and use AVAST or AVG Free. Much better with
system resources.

I agree with you 100% on that one, Avast 4.7 Home Edition is 100% Free to
Home User's, and works on both X64 Windows XP and X64 Windows Vista, and
Avast 4.7 Server Edition works on both X64 Windows Server 2003 and X64
Windows Server 2008 Beta 3, Avast 4.7 Pro Edition is Only $49.99 for One
Computer for One Year for Corporate User's, Just FYI.

I also had to remove Symantec, it just doesn't work right with Vista.

Funny you should say that but I'm running NIS2007 and I ran the public
Beta of Norton 360 and both ran fine under VISTA, Business and Ultimate
in the case of NIS2007.

And it is no longer correct to say that it is a resource hog -- it is
not. The 2007 versions are terrific jump forward from earlier Norton
versions.

Not just my opinion -- echoed in reviews I've read.

I've used Norton products for more than 15 years. When Peter Norton was
running the company ande sold truly useful utilities their products were
pretty good. But once Symantec bought out Norton I won't purchase or
install anything from them. What is now sold under the name of "Norton"
can screw up any computer and even if it doesn't wreck something it will
slow down your processor in ever-expanding frustrating ways.
