NIS-2010-performance-db-File-Size and operations

I run NIS 2010 on XP service pack 3 with 4 giga byte Ram on a Toshiba Satelite pro

 

Since two weeks Symantec Service Framework draws more then 2 gigabyte ram by way of ccsvchst.exe

Sometimes I can get rid of the problem for an hour with a registry cleaner and reboot

By way of process explorer and process monitor procmon.exe I find that the computer is I/O for 2 giga and

according to procmon these are succesfull performance.db reads .

The db file is now 2.49 giga

C:/documents and settings/ all users/application data/Norton/(0C55C................) NIS 17.0.0.136 /NCW/performance.db

 

In the Norton Protected recycle bin I find  1500 deleted db files all between 4 and 7 kb and when I empty the bin it starts immidiately

to refill with new db deletes .

 

The 2 giga ram cycles down and up and the imput output indicator on process monitor is like 80%

The system crawls on between reboots

 

Any suggestions are welcom
