Help! Computer running very slow & affecting internet speeds

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

Hi,

 

I just got Norton Internet Security & Utilities 2012.  Followed all instructions & removed old internet security (Titanium).  I have Dell dimension 4500S and 2 laptops that run  occasionally on 6MB DSL.  Ever since I put Norton on my computer, it is SO SLOW! I can't hardly do anything!  I did not have this trouble with the previous software. Also, when my son uses his laptop (and he does NOT have Norton), he cannot download anything w/ease.  It totally ties up the bandwidth.  When I shut down my computer, which is attached to the jack, router & wi-fi router, then he is able to get speed back up to normal.  So it is most definately to do with Norton.  I cannot function this way.  What can I do to fix it?

I did what you said and it seems to be much better now, at least on my compter.  Not freezing like before.  My son is still complaining about his download speed though.

 

THanks!
