Aaron,

We're not on a license expiration with this version. It is Norton 
AntiVirus Corporate Edition 7.5 and we suspect it probably is at its end 
of life since it is not listed on Symantec's site as currently being 
supported. The virus definitions have been faithfully updated 
automatically until July 27.

This morning, our computers started to run slowly, some programs (CMI) 
would not start, some are running at 100%, some at 51%, and the fans on 
our XP computers are running constantly to cool the computer.

When we click on the LiveUpdate button, it tells us that we are already 
running LiveUpdate for another product, which we're not.

Any thoughts?
