After reinstalling Windows XP (SP?) did you then reinstall all updates and
patches?
I would turn Norton off, until you get all updates/patches installed.
Are there any patches for Norton?

I tried to get updates from internet, but it immediatly froze on me again.
This was happening before I had norton installed. I installed norton a week
ago because I thought I had picked up a virus, but it didn't detect anything.
I have also found that clearing the history in my 'internet properties' is
also freezing the system.
