Vista / Norton anti-virus-- Slow start up pc
Norton is generally acknowledged to be resource hungry.
I run XP with Norton and its at startup its really s..l..o..w...zzzzz.
But, having had to rebuild my PC twice 'cus of virus infections I keep everything up to date and just live with the slowness.
Think I need more membory, but DDR is expensive and I'm thinking I might replace the whole lot (motherboard etc) rather than spend on out of date stuff.

Uninstalling Norton has certainly made a difference on start-up ,it's a lot faster ,but the AVG free is still scanning every day , and still taking over an hour
Is it really necessary to do a scan every day Mind you, i'd have to look into it, im not sure if i can alter that or not with AVG free

It's up to you how often you run a scan. I usually do a scan about twice a week. One manually and the other automatically set as below:-
If you click on Tools>Advanced Settings>then click on the + sign next to Schedules>Schedule Scan.....there you can set it to scan any day of the week at any time.
