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.

Thank you all for the advice!

redoak- Why is it better to use their removal tool instead of just the 'add or remove programs' option?

Pedroguy,
Do the Grisoft anti-virus and anti-spyware links that you provided also cover me for a good firewall like Papermoon suggests? Ifnot, and the Windows one is not good enuf, are there any that you'd recommend?
Thanks again
