I recommend dumping Norton Suite, shit is resource hog.put your machine offline, or if you gotta be online dont go to funny websites or download files you not supposed to.

AVG, Avast, Trend Micro, Nod32 are much better and easier on your system, with the first two being free applications

thanks for the advice mang. the security portion was for laughs (hence the M9 lol true though) and norton is only on my other computers as my studio computer is offline.

thanks though!
