Norton is probably the worst security software on the market, and
McAfee isn't much better. Both of these are notorious for adversely
affecting your computer's performance.
For an anti-virus product, I recommend NOD32 if you want to spend a
little money, or Avast, if you want a free product.
For anti-spyware, I would run at least two from the following list:
Spyware Blaster
Spybot Search and Destroy
Adaware
Super Antispyware.
