So has anyone any ideas why all of a sudden l am getting slow webpages the green bar at the bottom goes slow then stops and sometimes does not move.The wireless icon on the taskbar shows good access with 4 bars showing out of 5.Any help would be great.

    Well first off as many others will tell you Norton is horrible. I suggest getting rid of it and going with either AVG or Avast for antivirus and Windows Defender for antispyware. Also don't let anyone knock the Windows firewall ESPECIALLY if you are behind a router on top of it.

    Unless you are engaged in really risky online behavior you should be fine with those products AND your system will be faster then with a the giant chunk of uh... code that is norton.


    That being said the first thing I would do is reset IE if thats what you are using.

    See if that helps any. If not then try to remove norton and just see how it acts for ya.
