The Norton Background tasks is freezing my computer. When it is in idle mode a pop up message in the bottom right corner of the screen pops up saying Norton is performing background tasks. Nothing will open. I have to power off / force shut down and restart my computer. My laptop is 1 year old and the operating system is Windows 7. I just updated to Norton 360 v. 5, but it was doing the same thing before I updated. I do not understand this bcause I have had Norton 360 since I purchased the laptop in August 2010 and this only started about a month ago (July 2011). Again, there is no change after I updated Norton 360.
If there is no fix for this, I will be uninstalling Norton and purchasing a different anti virus software program....and I have 342 left in my subscription!
