I have not noticed any negative effect on the performance of my chess engines. However, when I play serious tournament games I always disable Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect. I had Norton Utilities in the past and I was not happy with it. Norton Utilities itself caused crashes and troubles on my computer! Shame on Symantec company! :( Thus, it could disturb the performance of any chess engine. Well, Norton Utilities is not essential. Lastly, I recommend not using too many utility-type software on a computer because of undesired burden on it. Eran
