Downloading of webpages (any page from any site) takes a lot of time.  Problem
can sometimes be resolved by goin offline an back online, but not always,
there's no pattern in this solution.
The problem seems to be fixed when I disable the 'Auto-Protect' function in
Norton Antivirus (as a part of Norton Internet Security 2002 with the most
recent updates is the version I'm using, don't know if other versions have a
problem)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla when Norton Antivirus is active and start browsing.  Portions
of the pages are displayed, sometimes nothing.  The progressbar 'hangs' and the
Mozilla-logo in the upper-right corner indicates that the connection is still
being used
2. Go offline and back online and sometimes the page continues to load and is
sometimes fully loaded.  In other ocasion the connection is closed.
3. When I disable Auto-Protect from Norton Antivirus, I don't have any problem
any more

Actual Results:  Partial loaded pages, on other moments, the same page isn't
loaded at all (at least, there's nothing shown in the browser screen)

After disabling Auto-Protect in Norton Antivirus, everything works fine

Expected Results:  Just download the page and show it to me

I'm not sure if this is a Mozilla problem, it might as wel be a Norton Antivirus
problem.  The symbolic proxy might not recognize Mozilla as a browser (not sure
about that)
