While I am almost exclusively Linux, I haven't yet persuaded 
my wife to make the switch to Linux, though she did agree to 
let me put Thunderbird and Firefox on her XP to replace 
Internet Exploder and Lookout Express.  But now, her computer 
has become bogged down to a painfully slow pace (it's not my 
fault, really, I didn't sabatoge her machine  ;))  Thunderbird, 
in particular, is now terribly slow.  She recently put Norton 
Anti-virus on her machine and I am suspicious that it might 
be contributing to the problems because it is always popping 
up something saying that it is scanning for viruses. 

Sorry to bother y'all with this question, but I wondered if any 
of you nice folks could offer suggestions to remedy this severe 
slowdown.  Might defrag or killing off some temp files help?
