Was there any out of date AV already on the machine that was NOT uninstalled before this lot of AV was installed as some AV's Clash.."When you want something said, ask a man.

I found once that Norton AV was a problem within itself. I know someone who has it on their machine and it was taking up to half-an-hour to shut down and quite a while to start up. In my opinion, avoid Norton and go for a free, less feature packed version such as Grisoft's free AVG.
I think HP shipped machines with Norton or maybe some other AV software at some stage. It is recommended you only run 1 AV Software because as Mr. Skint said, they conflict sometimes and mess up.0 -
