All of a sudden last night my "right click" became slower than snail snot???

In "My Computer", some desktop Icons and especially Nortons Anti Virus Icon in the task bar it takes 30+ seconds to open?

No changes to system ... a normal Anti-Virus and SpyBot update yestrerday ... thats it.

I've searched the net and some forums and have found nothing.

I'm really stumped here guys ... any Ideas. System has been flawless and fast as hell since built 3 months ago.


Thanks ... clayman.

Alot of people are having similar problems. Has to do with the Symantec Live Updates from yesterday. Take a look at this thread. Take a look at the post by noxxic about half way down. That one worked for me.
