Slow startup after installing security software

    At the weekend I installed a well known internet security software programme and now my computer (running XP Pro) start up has slowed to snails pace. Any suggestions?
    I did see another thread in the security forum which mentioned this problem but it was closed after only two posts.

    I couldn't understand why the thread in the Security forum, which mentioned this exact problem for this software, had been locked so I was being cautious.
    The software is Norton Internet Security 2005 and I aslo run Zone Alarm if that helps.

    more than likely having 2 firewalls is the cause

    if you want to stick with norton then remove ZA & see what happens
    (or vice versa)
