I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Slow Start-up When Using Norton Internet Security 2002

If you are using Norton Internet Security 2002, and are experiencing slow start-up of XP, (i.e. you can see the desktop with icons etc. but it takes 30-60sec before you can start using the computer), this fix might help:

  • Click on Start button.
  • Select Control Panel.
  • Open "Network Connections".
  • Under "LAN and High-Speed Internet", right-click on your "Local Area Connection" and select "Properties".
  • Under "General" tab, select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and select "Properties".
  • Select "Use the following IP address:".
  • Under "IP address" enter following : 192.168.0.1
  • Under "Subnet Mask:" enter following : 255.255.255.0
  • Click "Ok".
