I've got the same problem.

It's caused by symproxysvc.exe hogging the CPU (that's Norton Firwall's HTTP proxy). I believe (but haven't yet checked) that it got updated by LiveUpdate.

I haven't had the chance to report it properly to Symantec yet (and as I'm running NIS 2002 I think it's no longer supported?), but I've temporarily got round it by disabling the firewall (I'm behind a router so not too worried).

Just wondering whether to dump it for something else.
