My Norton is just being weird. Besides
lighting up on that website that apparently
nobody else had problems with, it has a
little routine called ccapp that uses
system resources out the ying yang.

Steve Gibson's AVG is the best I've come across. I was a Norton fan for years, but this is working much better for me. It's a free download at GriSoft. Oddly enough, I have heard that the free version is better than the pay version. Possibly because of all the "extras" you get with the pay version.
