The norton anti-virus was pre-installed on this computer. The computer usage it's at 0% after it's done booting up and it's a norton internet security 2006 and you know what. I pay 49.99 and it only catch one virus (because i'm careful). It's a hp so hp likes to install that norton everyone is complaing about. I have never seen what this computer can actually do and my father's computer is able to work his computer faster than mine and yet i have a faster processor.
I installed 1 gb memory card and it's working a hell lot faster now but still i notice the lag. the abavilable memory it get's left on this computer after it boots up is 956 mb and the processor runs at 3.06 ghz. when i open up word it takes 7 seconds to boot up while my father takes no time at all. when opening start menu all programs there is no lag at all in his but my yes. i have 62 process running and i'm wondering this computer is slow because it's a dell
What should i do about this software? please someone help!?house call
yes you have the right idea.
Time your most used applications response times.
Disable norton and use msconfig to trim your startups right down. Also go through your taskbar and kill anything you don't need so it doesn't start when windows starts. Check your system startup folder too.
Reboot and repeat the test.
