Thanks Honda for the responce.
My Norton AV is 16.7.2.11 which is a 2009 version.
I will look at your recomendations.
However, I think you may be right on about the
general "slowness".
Besides...

No malware found.

Thanks Matt.
This morning before reading your post.
i performed my Sunday morning weekly tasks.
Ran Norton -- no malware
Ran SpyBot -- cleaned
Ran Registry Mechanic-- OK

Restarted

Task...

My Spybot S&D takes 4 minutes from doubleclick to GUI 1.6.2.
Then 45 sec to 1 minute to download updates then
4 minutes from 'exit' to GUI.
The actual scan takes about 45 minutes.
bottom line...
