If I could I would cancel Norton.

The problem is I don't know what to replace it with.
AVG Free. Automatic updates. http://free.grisoft.com/

avast! is also good. http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
JimH,
Can you see how much memory AVG uses. McAfee uses about 25,000K

Less than a quarter of that.



That would have been my guess. McAfee is a memory hog.

A quick look shows AVG processes use about 30k. I don't see that as
an issue.

I guess McAfee is pretty good then. I have 2GB of Ram, so it has not
been a problem with my new computer, the old one with 512mb was very slow.

I think you misread the process information.

There are three AVG process typically running:

avgamsvr.exe
avgcc.exe
avgupsvc.exe

Depending what AVG is doing when you look the total can vary from about 2MB
to about 5MB.

I've also got guard.exe running using 23k, and a quick google showed
that to be an AVG module. Let me know if it's malware.

Do you have the pay version of AVG. I'm using the free version and there is
no guide.exe included.
