Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / June 2008Service Pace 3 and Norton Internet Security
Has anyone noticed how Office programs have slowed down since Service Pack 3 was installed. All my virus scanning seems to take much longer. SP-3 for XP did not impact my Microsoft Office programs, Office verison 2003 with its SP-3. > Has anyone noticed how Office programs have slowed down since Service Pack > 3 > was installed.

No, not at all. Not on any of the Windows machines here (running Office 2003 on some and Office 2007 on some) and not on any of the many installs I've done for clients. You've got something else going on but without any information about your system, etc. there's no way for me to guess what that something would be.

All my virus scanning seems to take much longer. Addendum - I just noticed that your subject line references Norton Internet Security and the body of your message is about MS Office. If you meant to ask about a relationship between these two separate things, I'm afraid I missed that. Norton products are garbage. If you are experiencing a slowdown in any situation when you have a Norton product installed, this is "normal". Uninstall Norton and use a better antivirus program. I particularly like NOD32, Avast if you need a free one. See if your issues disappear after dumping Norton. Malke SignatureMS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

My reference to virus checking is from the dialog as an office file opens. It does not display until the doc has been checked. I assumed that was a Norton function. Anything that passes through has really slowed after SP3. Tusen takk > Has anyone noticed how Office programs have slowed down since Service Pack 3 > was installed. All my virus scanning seems to take much longer. My experience is completely different. Neither Office programs, nor anything else, has slowed down at all since SP3 was installed. And that's on several computers.

I updated 2 of our 3 computers w/ Service Pack 3 and both are slower. Neither have Norton on them. Any suggestions? |
