High CPU Usage message
Apparently my Norton Internet Security is set with a default option to have this icon for "High CPU Usage" pop up (randomly) but I have no idea what to do with the information. What does it mean to me if it shows, for example a 56% usage? This has just started in the last day or so.

HI dinkiej
Welcome to the Norton Community Forums
The messages are informational and just letting you know that a particular program is having high CPU, disk or memory usage. You can go into Miscellaneus Settings in Norton and turn off these messages altogether or for a particular program or alter the threshold levels if you wish to.
Re: High CPU Usage message
Personally I would not worry about it unless you find that you are running into a sustained slowdown that you can't account for.
Consider turning off the notifications in Settings / Miscellaneious Settings if they bother you.
Re: High CPU Usage message
Thanks for your input. Actually, I have started noticing my computer being extremely slow in opening up the Internet or navitagint within the Internet. Having said that, is there some action I need to take in uninstalling some programs or deleting favorites, as examples? I haven't added anything recently to account for any added burden. I guess my question is whether it's something on my computer affecting it or is it relating directly to the Internet and why all of a sudden I'm experiencing this extreme slow down.
