disk usage is at 100 percent all the time

[RedneckFirework]

i have recently noticed that things opened really slow on my computer and things were just in general going slower so i open tm and looked at my cpu usage and everything was normal until i opened resource monitor and ns.exe is almost always using 100% of my disk and it will stop every now and then and then 10 mins later it's back at it again. it says the write speed to my disk while it is doing this is about 6mb/s

That executable is Norton Security. Norton is not necessarily known for being friendly on system resources.

Hi,

Sorry for the trouble! I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

1. May I know the version of Norton Security installed on your computer?
2. May I know the version of Windows operating system you are using?
3. Do you have any other security programs installed on your computer?
4. May I know if you have made any changes to your computer recently?

We would like to hear you from you.

Thanks!
