Collin,
Yes, its well known any antivirus active will slow any game or program. But specially Norton, what a mess...why do you use Norton? its such a nuisance, heavy, slow, messing and active in all processes, I thought people had stopped using Norton in the 90s, since there are many more efficient solutions today :)

Another thing: I believe you cant "disable" Norton, impossible. You press ctrl-alt-del and you can always check it is still there, in memory. The only wasy to disble is a complete UNINSTALL.

Anyway, using Gamebooster is also good, it will terminate all the processes you dont need to fly, and after back on.

Ctrl-alt-del will also show active processes in system (XP) and I usually terminate manually any which is taking too muche memory and not essential.
