After uninstalling Norton Internet Security, I notice my Newsgroups links on OE
now take up to a minute to load messages, versus about 10 seconds before. I
also find that when closing my browser and shutting down, I am now getting a
window, End Program - SVCHost, with a progress bar and an [End Now] button. Are
these somehow connected? Any suggestions as to how to get back to normal before
I decide on and load a different antivirus software?
