Dell Inspiron 3646, 4GB memory, Win 8.1, Norton 360 (21.6.0.32).
Every few hours my hard disk lights up and PC slows down. Usually lasts about 5-10 mins. Typically I've got Firefox and Outlook open and nothing else. I run task Manager / Resource Monitor and the culprit appears to be N360.exe reading out the pagefile at about 900 B/sec. It is taking very few CPU cycles and CPU load shows as just a few %.
Is this Norton periodically scanning my page file? Should it grind my PC to a halt? Can I prevent it? Might I be blaming Norton when it isn't the problem?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
