turn off Norton Antivirus. What a difference!
What I do for virus software is to:
1. Keep it up to date.
2. Scan the whole machine.
3. Scan any file-server completely.
4. Set the software to only scan when creating files.
5. If you deal with data arriving on disk/cd then scan those as they arrive.
This means that already scanned files don't get re-scanned, you don't scan
every time you open a file and your machine spends most of its time working
for you rather than for virus authors.
If you are on a network with other computers, make sure that they also scan
when things are created, otherwise you could get a virus that transfers
from an infected computer to your file server and then to you.
