Is Norton necessary w/XP and SP2?

Hi,
Almost everyday I notice that my computer downloads security updates from Windows. I find that web pages load much slower when I have Norton activated. Is it necessary to keep Norton running or am I covered just by Windows with the Service Pack 2?
Thanks a lot.

If you remove Norton, do it THEIR way! Below is the download page for their "tool."

By all means install ZoneAlarm. One should have a firewall that looks at outgoing traffic.
