First post.

For the last week or so, entering text in my browser (FF 1.5.0.6) has been very slow (to the point sometimes that my keystrokes don't appear for several seconds, then all appear quickly).

So I ran HijackThis – and here I am, understanding very little about the log I have attached :)

I note that there are quite a few entries for symantec; and as I have moved away from NAV to AVG, I reckon I can safely delete them all – but I bow to your experience.

TIA
