I recently upgraded (?) from 2002 to 2003 on an XP home machine. Almost immediately I noticed that the machine was acting funny. Stuttering almost. For instance, a screen saver would move, stop, move, stop. I checked the CPU usage and it was way up there. Even when the machine was idle. The Navapsvc (autoprotect) was the process using all the cycles. Disabled the autoprotect and the problem went away. Start it again and the trouble is back. Anyone else seen this? I don't recall ever having this problem with previous versions, and I have used a lot of them. I emailed Symantec, but I am not hopeful about getting a helpful answer, or if past experience is any guide, any answer.
The process will not allow itself to be downgraded in priority, and I am not sure that that would help anyway.
Anyone got any suggestions? Could it be running some first time background scan that I should just wait out?
