I just bought and installed Norton Antivirus 2012 yesterday. With Auto-protect on, it takes about 1 minute for the Outlook Express splash screen to appear after I start it, and another 1 minute to see my folders. If I turn Auto-protect off, it starts up instantly, as usual. It also takes about 1 minute for the Toolbar to expand if I click on it, but only if Auto-protect is on. For now, I have been turning Auto-protect off, starting OE, and then turning in back on. I am then okay and have all functionality, unless I click on the toolbar. What a pain! Any ideas??
I am running Windows XP Media Edition an am current with all Windows Updates.
