Welcome to the forums Tad.
I see you had the same problem with Norton as I did.
Norton could be called the great Devide and Concur program.
It takes your system, divides it and then concurs it. It totally brought mine to it’s knees.
Since I’ve made the big switch to Avast!, my computer is back to being able to compute. Avast also found quite a few viruses on my computer that the great Norton never told me about.
I guess you can tell that i’m very happy that I made the switch.
