Don't know for sure that process,
I know norton has slowed down the performance a lot.
These are the processes running in norton:
navshext.dll
SPBBCSvc.exe
ccsetmgr.exe
NPFMntor.exe
ccevtmgr.exe
nscsrvce.exe
ccapp.exe
sndsrvc.exe
symlcsvc.exe

How long has the subscription for Norton got left

[joejobs]

1 year, just boughit.
I am using cable about 700 kbps, feels like using modem...

[joejobs]

Most features in norton are off....since have defender, spybot, ad aware, and spyware blaster.

Can you disable Norton to run at start up and reboot to see if it loads any quicker, though don't go online unless it is active

Check you set it back to run at start up after this

[joejobs]

disabled it and boot is bit faster....one less program...does not affect too much...IE works same speed with or without norton.

Takes about 5 seconds to open home page IE..and 7 seconds to open messenger...
with and without norton.

consider regular speed 1 or 2 seconds, haven't been able to improve performance.

[joejobs]

CAn't completely disable norton.
5 processes still running.
might be the cause......

Two things:

How much RAM Memory has the laptop got

You could click start then run, type msconfig then press enter, click start up, click disable all, carefully replace the ticks for the firewal, anti virus and any antispyware programmes, click apply, close then reboot

Tick do not start the configuration utility when it gets to the desktop

Programmes will run, but only when you start them

[joejobs]

googled all entries...left running:
Java, touchpad, hot keys, symantec

1.6 Ghz processor
512 MB

about 160.00 to upgrade to 1gb ram original parts....

See what crucial say, though 512MB isn't low

Enter the motherboard for manufacturer, they guarantee compatibility

[joejobs]

same price as buying direct from manufacturer.

removed another application runing in background with task manager.

will try slimming it down, see if it improves.

the new messenger continues slow....7 seconds to load.

[joejobs]

10 seconds from hotmail link to here.
white window left behind when minimizing.

[joejobs]
