Why does my PC run more slowly than when it was new?

A new PC comes with only a few basic software programs. Every new program you install – whether it’s a full-scale application like a photo management system, or a simple tool like a video player – places demands on the system’s physical memory. Too much demand on too little memory slows start-up, processing, and shut down. The solution is to install additional physical memory, or to turn off or uninstall some of your applications.

Automated tasks like backup and security scans are always getting in the way of my work. How do I prevent this?

Norton security products include easy scheduling, so you can set most tasks to take place when you’re not busy, or even overnight.

Does Symantec have a product that can enhance and maintain my PC’s performance?

Yes. Both Norton System Works and Norton 360 come with PC Tune-up, which:

• Finds and fixes problems that slow your computer
• Speeds up the computer's startup time
• Cleans and repairs Windows registry
• Removes Internet clutter such as cookies and temporary files
