I cracked it with Norton 360
A couple of days ago I just needed to check a few things on the net and everytime I wanted to click on something, Nortons seemed to send the hard drive into a frenzy. Usually about 5 minutes or so after I start the computer up, the hard drive goes crazy for several minutes. Looking at task manager I see the only thread making masses of disk accesses is one of the norton systems. Eventually I gave up trying to do my searches and decided instead to download AVG and to update my Ad-Aware. On Saturday, I spent some time removing Nortons (it really didn't want to go!) and found AutoUpdate was still there and refused to uninstall, so I followed the link in an earlier posting in this thread.
Well, my computer is much more usable today (Sunday) and searches run at the sort of speed I would expect from cable.
