What would cause my computer to run slow?

Its possible your bandwidth/connection is slow...If you have wifi and if its an open network-I would suggest turning on some security encryption like WEP,WPA on the modem/router. ---If you don't use wifi, then it's more than likely either your broswer, slow computer, or viruses/spyware. I know that you have run norton, try installing another program like spybot and scan with that...sometimes it needs 2 or more programs to find something.


If your computer is going slow as well you could try removing unwanted/unused programs first and then install and run ccleaner...If you have Windows 7 and a 2+gig usb drive, you could use that as extra memory called readyboost...
