I think this information is on symantec website a few days after the Slowdown note.
Anyway, upto this day, I still have the "slowdown" problem...
I did all the information about fixing the problem, but it didn't fix.
I even reformat and reinstall Windows XP and Office XP and NAV 2003 etc. (with the hope of skipping the "Jan 07" file) ... and followed step by step any info or tips about this, but the slowdown in Office application etc. still there.
So for now, I uncheck the security setting in IE... (I don't even know what the side effect of unchecking this setting) ... so far my application run normally.
On my other PC I didn't use Norton... and have No Problem at all... so it really is the Norton problem.
Have a nice weekend...
