Norton Antivirus slows down startup time in Windows Vista

Hello

need help please, I am led to madness by starting slow time of my laptop.
I he had only a few weeks and don't use it for anything beyond to produce documents word etc.

It has been gradually slower on boot and I suspect it has something to do with the protection of Norton antivirus on it software and updates for norton I downloaded (thinking that it was the right thing to do).

Looking at the log for problems and solutions on the computer, the date on which he began really to slow coincides with downloading an update to norton, which I could not uninstall to check if that's really the problem.

In addition, I tried to do a system restore, my laptop could not complete.
I'm stuck on the screen of the BACK for 10 minutes with the message:
PXE - E32 TFTP open timeout

I have no idea what it means, but the newspaper issues and Solutions said something about a blocking of the system?

I looked on the web for other virus protection software and they all seem to have a problem or slow computers and another down to the start.

Did someone knows a solution or should I just make a cup of tea when I turn on my computer and lace with vodka until it is fully charged to the top!

I am a novice when it comes to using computers so would like to receive technical advice.

Thank you
Laura

Hi guys

I would like to add a few words about my experience using the Symantec Norton Antivirus software.
I used this software long 3 years. It was great because it supports one of the best options for filtering viruses, BUT it really slow downs the operating system.
I didn t use on preinstalled Vista laptop but on Win XP and I must say that the laptop boot process was stopped about 30 sec - 1 min until the entire parts of Norton Antivirus software has started, it is very annoying

However, I went to AntiVir. It is described by marina4000 software and I really happy because the startup performance of m.

So finally, I also recommend delete this Symantec Norton Antivirus software and switch to other free AntiVir software ;)

Good bye

  • I2C communication slows down over time using USB-8451

    Hi all!

    I try to communicate via a device slave using a USB-8451 I2C and I noticed that after a while the communication speed slows way.

    I can send and receive data very well and apparently my system seems to work. But the problem is that over time the speed of data transfer slows down so much so that if I let it run all night it has slowed to a crawl in the morning. My ultimate goal is to gather data, draw and save every second and at the beginning it is easily achievable, but after 10-15 hours I can no longer collect data as fast I need. I'm not quite sure if this is a problem with my code LabVIEW, the NI USB-8451 box or the slave device. But if I stop running the LabVIEW program and start it again, everything returns to normal.

    The slave device is a personalized card with a microchip PIC which acts as a slave I2C and returns the data at the request of the master. I can't imagine anyone will be able to determine if this is a problem directly, but if we can rule out the other two (code LabVIEW or the NOR-8451) as the source of the problem so I know it's my slave device.

    I've greatly simplified the LabVIEW code that I used to collect data on I2C and I see even this gradual slowing down over time. Attached, it's that the very simplified VI and the data file, it produced. I only ran it for about 45 minutes, but from the beginning to the end we see again that the enforcement timeframe is rising.

    I hope I'm just doing something stupid, thanks in advance!

    -Aaron

    Aaron,

    Do not have the additional module responsible for these functions, but I'm sure I know whats going on.  It seems that each time through the loop 'OR-845 x I2C Create Configuration Reference.vi' creates a new reference.  After a while it will start to slow things down.  Better to open the reference before the while loop starts and spend just the reference in the loop.  Don't forget to close the reference after the loop stops.

    Can I install norton antivirus on the surface running on windows rt?

    N ° no programs can be installed on the Surface. Now, if Norton makes an app to the Surface, then of course you can install the application. In my opinion, the Group advocate is more than enough for safety, we have run Defender and Security Essentials since the beginning and have never had a virus. Now that both programs have merged into one big program of Defender, just us that.

  • WiFi pilot slows down the closing of Windows 7

    Since I installed the new driver for Ralink Wireless LAN RT3572, it slowed the computer "Shut Down" for more than two minutes, I can't compromise uninstall it because it connects to 3 times the speed of the former driver, is there a work around for this annoying question?

    of them. You can reinstall the driver and uninstall 3rd party antivirus then
    Run the removal of its creator tool to see if that clears the issue. Use the clean boot method
    to see if any conflict can be determined. (Even if the chances are, it's the driver itself.)

  • Unable to turn off the computer, it will restart every time in Windows Vista.

    Original title: portable computer complete crash

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on HP Pavilion DV2208e.
    A week using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, the screen went black and all the lights on the laptop has continued. I tried to stop the laptop by pressing the power button, but it did not work. The only way to stop the laptop was to unplug the power cord. The next morning, that I started it again, with a notice "Windows did not close properly, how you want to proceed.» I opted for "start Windows normally". It seems to work very well, with the expection that the date had re-fixed at the date where Vista was installed first of all a few years ago. Later, when I tried to stop the laptop by choosing from the menu start 'Shut down', the laptop shuts down normally, but then 2-3 seconds more later handed on himself. I tried several times and it's always the same, the way to stop it is by pressing the power button, then whenever it restarts it new note that Windows not stop correctly. Also the black screen crash turned up almost every two days.

    I tried reinstalling antivirus and did a full scan. Also used ccleaner and décliqués "Automatically restart" in the advanced system settings. But nothing seems to have worked so far.

    In computer management, I can see critical events that seem to correspond to the time when the black screen error occurred. They say the following:

  • Disabling services not microsoft and startup programs for Windows Vista

    I have Windows Vista on my laptop and for some reason some difficulties to install updates for Microsoft Office 2007 security. I got a microsoft support shadow person my computer and fix the problem for me. The problem is that I have to disable all non-microsoft services and first start a number of issues on my computer and I can't remember how he disabled them.

    In the Start Menu search box type "run" without the quotes. In the run box type "msconfig" without the quotes. When open the System Configuration utility, click the Services tab, check the box that says "hide all Microsoft services". When Microsoft services are hidden, clear the check boxes next to the other services. Click apply and then click OK, close the System Configuration utility and restart your computer. After installing the security updates restart if necessary, and then restart the System Configuration utility, put checkmarks in the boxes unchecked, you uncheck "Hide all Microsoft services", click on apply and OK, close the System Configuration utility and restart your computer.

    Step 1: Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.
    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
