I just installed Norton Internet Security on my PC, now
when I go to shut down my computer of just log off it
takes about 3-5 minutes. Is there anything I can do to
speed it back up to normal?Thanks

Uninstall NIS. Seriously - it's garbage - there are many better AV and
firewall packages out there.
 
I've searched the archives, done a Google Search and found nothing in any of
the KB articles that has the answer to my question. (this meets with
Perdita X. Nitt qualifications for posting to this ng I presume?)

I cannot find but only a few posts where you gave an answer that didn't
berate someone for posting or you were slamming some product. Not once did
you offer solid, well thought out advice or back-up your claims of why you
felt a particular product was faulty.

If you're as intelligent as you think you are - then be more precise in your
answers and offer some real advice if you feel can contribute something.
That's what this ng is about. Otherwise, don't bother answering. We're
growing weary of your smart-ass responses and holier than tho attitude.

And that would be the royal we, would it? Why are you looking for assistance
with a Symantec product on the MSKB - you probably visit the Symantec site
for answers to Office questions, don't you? I gave you an answer - NIS slows
your system down - it's a recognised fact...if you don't like the answer
don't read it.

I have just as much right to post here as you have - in fact I've been
posting and contributing here for years. Please do enlighten me as to why I
should take orders from you? I'll post whatever I like, wherever I like as I
see fit - it's called free speech.

Oh, and by the way, the word is 'thou'.
 
Norton's Internet Security is an excellent set of anti-virus tools. I have
it. Trust me, it is not the cause of your problem.

Some additional causes of slow Win XP shutdown are given in the "Shutdown is
Slow" section of

Jim,

I'm not the one having the problem but that is one heck of a resource site.

Thanks, that one is a keeper.

After doing some research, you in-fact have not been posting here for years.
First occurrence was in Feb 2003 and you were as pompous then as you are
now.

You can certainly post here. All we're asking is for you to be civil, have
some respect for others and we'll do the same in return. You certainly seem
willing to contribute ...Now lets see what you can really do to help others.

That is because she changes her name to escape people's killfiles.

LMAO PMSL! I sed the free speech thing to you, and you said it doesn't
matter, because it violates your ISP's EUA/AUP. You are quite a hypocrite.
