What causes my computer to freeze for aprox10 secs every 1/2 hour or so?

I am using windows xp. everything stops; mouse won't move etc, however, if I am watching a show, after the 10 secs, it speeds up (sound included) until it has "caught up" After the "hang" it goes back to normal until it does it again. it is very annoying. I have the latest version of Norton Internet Security, so I don't think I have any kind of virus.

You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search %26 Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Run adaware, spybot, norton and spysweeper. your hd may need replacing and/or it has too much stuff on it.

just cause you got norton doesnt mean you wont get other sorts of malware. in fact my spysweeper got stuff that norotn never looks for. I got the one with all the spy stuff too for the norton program.

you may also want to defrag your hd and clean up temp files with a clean sweep program.
i agree with computer guy and then you should increase your
