I've had a similar experience with Norton/Symantec Internet Security.
Occasionally it goes "crazy" and becomes a total resource hog slowing the
computer to a crawl. Uninstalling is the only solution I've found. Same for
Macafee.
I'm using Avast! anti-virus free edition (14 month renewable license for
personal use) and it works like a charm. An associate of my swears by nod32 but
it a pay-for program.
For a firewall I use sunbelt-software's personal firewall. It's much better
behaved than norton and cheaper too.
For Linux I use... oh, nevermind. :-)
