Now I'm into Symantec for 3 more years. I went from having no AV on my vista laptop to having SEP11. It was amazing how much slower the boot and shut down is.

I do have most options disabled like you do with the exception of Proactive Threat Protection. I don't know why, but it is more of a problem that effects my laptop users than any other kind of user. Sometimes the logins take several minutes and this is on pretty quick Dell Latitude series laptops! I would love a solution for this problem, but I think an entirely different AV solution may be the real answer. Roger,
