    Norton Internet Security 2010 taking longer to load

    I have observed that newly my computer boots up slower than it did about 2 weeks before. Occasionally the windows sidebar gadget showing the green Norton protected bar takes about 5 minutes to show up; sometimes it obtains below a minute. The Norton yellow and green symbol in the taskbar pops up on the display quick but in this time insulate. I as well observed that while I click on the NIS 2010 icon in the taskbar, it does not mention the NIS screen until the few minutes are up. I as well attempt to click on the Internet explorer icon and it as well does not come up except it appears Norton is completed loading. I don't know if it the similar problems as the BHO loading problem some people are having. I don't know if anything is incorrect with the computer but there is absolutely a longer load up time than a few weeks before.

    Have you ensured for malware in your computer. Run a complete scan using malware bytes and Norton. Later than following this suggestion, would you mind doing few basic housekeeping as a first step?
    1. Make sure that there are no novel items in the startup list which may be exploit resources.
    2. Remove all the files in your %temp% folder.
    3. Defragment your hard drive.
    4. Run chkdsk /f
    5. For now, turn off Early Load in NIS 2010 and observe what the load time is.
    6. Do you have any additional real time security programs running?

    You may observe your Startups via Windows Defender- Tools- Software Explorer- Startup Programs- Show for all users. Earlier than you immobilize any program running at startup be must sure you know. One secure instance is MBAM free. Each version update enables MBAM at startup. U doesn’t require MBAM at startup. You run Ccleaner. Ccleaner- Tools- Startup- Enable or Disable (don’t remove). Please be careful.

    Checking what is in Startup might assist while it is modify of behavior. Get rid of the Dell opening screen and situate BIOS to wordy mode to observe if anything is holding it up there. If SATA drives check that the BIOS is locate to utilize AHCI and not IDE for the drive interface. I have observes reports of a few exterior issue causing it to switch back to IDE that is intrinsically slower.
