Yes, this is a normal result of having security software like an anitvirus on your computer. The software must constantly update it files and signatures. All this information is logged in your computer. The majority of the information is placed in your registry.
When your antivirus performs a scan. It produces a log. This log can be up to 100 megabytes of information each. The registry holds all this info. The addition of the info is not the major problem. Its that the information is placed in many places in your registry. This causes fragmentation of files. Your computer’s operating system must search through the massive files in the registry constantly. If the registry is error-filled, fragmented, or bloated with unnecessary and duplicate files, you will have major slowdown. Organize and keep it maintained, the problem will most likely be solved. You can scan to see the condition of your registry and see what resources you can unlock resources.http://www.delete-computer-history.com/w…
Also you should try to see what processes are loaded when your computer starts. Often the antivirus will check your email, scan, and even update at the same time. This may be occuring everytime you start up your PC. These acts can last as long as 3 hours. They may be running silently in the background without your knowledge. Maintain them by following the directions below or by tweaking the settings in your antivirus:
1. Open your Start menu.
2. Click Run
3. In the command screen type “msconfig.exe”
4. In the “system configuration utility”,
click either “service” or “startup” tab
5. Uncheck all programs that you dont want to load win the antivirus is starting
6. Click “OK”

Click your Start tab down in the far left corner of your homepage. Next click Run. In the window type, msconfig, and then click continue. Click on the startup tab and uncheck all the stuff you don’t need loaded immediately on start up. Any abbreviations you don’t understand in the list you can Google to get the explanation. You could also download this nifty little program.

It is never a good idea to run two “Anti Virus” programs at the same time. The will have major conflicts and slow the system down. On the other hand, it is ok to have as many anti spyware programs install as makes you comfortable.
