No u can not.
NAV2006 is way more system hog, just cause of security. It boots autoprotect, and protectes files, it runs a automatic liveupdate at startup and that takes time to. and some other several stuff. -------------------- ** Sig image removed ~G **

Norton is a known resource hog which is one reason many of us here recommend replacing it with one of the freeware versions from:
Avast AVG AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic These are excellent alternatives if you don't mind having to pay for your protection: NOD32 Anti-Virus Personal Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 6.0 -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"

Your welcome and good luck.
BTW, Norton products can be difficult to remove so read the entire discussion topic How To Remove Your Norton Products" -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"
