Get rid of norton it is nothing but spyware and adware.

Defrag your comp. Or delete some programs you dont need.

Yeah this is not a very fast machine by today's standards and Norton will be much too heavy for it. AVG isn't bad, but I personally prefer Avast (www.avast.com).
Uninstall the Norton and go with one of the lighter free ones that work just as well.

your memory is ok but your processor is a bit slow maybe try avg it`s what i use and i find it fine and i only have a 1200mhz processor also make sure that you are not running to many programmes at once close any that are running in your system tray that you don`t need etc,,,,

Avg free is as good as norton in my experiance, and it uses less of the system resources. I would say that your computer is a little underpowered. If you dont wish to purchase a new one, then i would recommend a upgrade, start with your memory (RAM).
Upgrading RAM would really help things along.]
If it is the new norton then most of your memory would be taken up by it.

do like me and don't put any security on your computer.i never got a virus on my computer and if i do get one i would just reinstall the whole system over again.my computer always goes as fast as it can go.

Get rid of Norton, it's useless!
Yes AVG is much better for a free one and download super anti spyware too.

These will keep your computer safe.
I also suggest CCleaner, this program cleans up your computer and helps it run better.

Hope this helps

Norton uses a lot of memory, and your computer doesn't have a lot to spare. I had a similar configuration and my computer ran much better when I got rid of Norton and got Avast! Antivirus (which, like AVG, is free). Don't forget to uninstall Norton and defragment your computer.
I also agree with the person above: CCleaner rocks.
