Slow boot up with norton

[Ian]

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry if this has been discused before, but the
search was not working for me.
My computer takes a long time to finish start up. When I
turn it on it will get to my logon screen very quickly.
I then click the account I want, and windows comes up
fairly quickly also. The problem is I cannot do anything
for the next 4-10 min. Norton antivirus takes forever to
load up. The computer look inactive no HD light on or
anything. I can veiw folders but not run any programs,
and if I try I takes even longer before I get control of
my computer.
Computer Info:

Matsonic MS9377C motherboard
Intel 2.6GHz p4 w/HT
1.5GB kingston 333MHz DDR ram
ATI ALL IN WONDER 8500 DV graphics card
Linkeys PCI ethernet card
WireSpeed DSL modem
60GB & 120GB Maxtor hard drives
Liteon 52x CD-RW
Memorex DVD+RW/+R
Win XP Home SP1
Verizon DSL W/MSN
Norton Sys works 2003
500W power suply

I think thats all the info I need.
Pleas help if anyone knows how to speed up startup. It
only takes long before norton AV loads up.
Thank you

YMMV, but this helped for me. run MSCONFIG, on the startup tab, uncheck
ccApp. Use Find to find ccApp and make a shortcut of it and put the shortcut
in your start up folder. ccApp has to load for NAV to work right. By putting
it in your startup folder, you change the load sequence for it.

I had a similar problem as both yourself and everybody
else, in the end I uninstalled all Norton software, as
they were still playing up even once everything else was
running and after re-installing each piece of software
one at a time I discovered that in my case it was norton
personal firewall that slowed everything down.

I have now un-installed the firewall, added macfee
firewall and everything is back to normal.

Best of luck

Thanks so much this was driving me nuts also. Your tip wprked for me.
I just spent $800.00 to upgrade my system and it was taking forever to
boot to a point where I could run an app. Your tip worked like a
charm. Thanks again.

How do you put this shortcut in the start up folder?
