What I do, Uni, is to disable all those services until I need to use Acrnois for back up purposes; Then I turn them on, and turn them off after I am done..I haven't had any stability problems, and have restored at least 10 times with Acronis, but I guess all programs work differently on different machines..
Yeah I used to love Norton stuff, but never realized how it hogged resources, and made EVERTHING run slower until I got rid of all of it..

NOD 32 for anti virus, VCom's System Suite, and either Zone Alarm or Sygate is so, so much better on your machine..people, if you havent tried this combo, and are still suffereing with Norton, you are missing the boat...
BTW, with sp2 rc2 2149, I have stopped using Sygate/Zone alarm, and insted turned to the XP firewall, with NO PROBLEMS, and NO SECURITY Issues..One less program running in the background= more available resources for everything else!
