Windows 2000 computers running Norton Antivirus 2000 unresponsive and in need of a reboot, list user Lance Kujala said in a posting to the NT-Bugtraq mailing list. The software would slow programs "into limbo; eventually the mouse stops responding and the keyboard lights no longer toggle," he said.
