PC seems sluggish. Have latest Norton AV with auto-protect. Did a full scan, nothing there. Then did an Ad-Aware scan for spyware, and it found 24 critical items so far. If Norton is supposed to pro-actively take care of spyware, why is Ad-Aware finding so many critical items, when I just did a complete Norton scan? Are Norton's claims of spyware detection/removal bogus??
