Recently I have noticed that what ever application I am in, often it stops
responding for a few seconds and then it starts responding. I am operating
Vista Home Premium 32bt. and have Norton Internet Security 2010 running. No
other programs running at startup except sidebar.
I appreciate help on this matter. I have run full NIS scan, full
Malwarebytes, and full tune up in system mechanics 9.

You may want to consider doing away with your Norton Internet Security
2010. The native applications ought to more than satisfy your needs.
If you absolutely insist, there are better alternatives available.

There's not really much to go on here. Have you watched the Task
Manager to see what else is happening during the pauses? Though, if I
had to guess, I'd suspect the Norton bloat-ware of bogging the system
down, and there's also a fair chance that the use of a snake oil product
like System Mechanic caused some sort of damage.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin

Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has
killed a great many philosophers.
~ Denis Diderot

You both have noted "Norton" in your response. As for System Mechanics, this
service is not always running. I run it manually when I want to. So does
Malwarebytes.
Thanks

You really can't make Norton 2010 the enemy. Since Norton Internet Security
2009 the company's product has been a fantastic revolution from what they did
previously. It's not my job to tell you how good they are. Just try their new
product. I have bought a three-licence version and so far I am very pleased.
Oh, I should add that this is on my brand-new Windows 7 computer, running
very well indeed.

To test it, uninstall Norton and see what happens.
If no change, reinstall and investigate further.
Does that sound plausible?

Since this is intermittent problem, I have to leave Norton uninstalled for a
few days and that would be highly inconvenient.

What does Norton protect, which is not protected by windows firewall and
defender? And how 'intermittent' is your problem? I had the impression it
occurred at least once a day.

How about anti virus? I remember uninstalling Norton once when I was
upgrading from 2009 to 2010 and I received message that my system is not
secure. Anyways, I will try it.
