Set your Norton product to alert you about performance issues

Your Norton product monitors your system performance. If it detects an increase in system resources used by any program or process, it notifies you with performance alerts.

You can use the Performance Alerting option in your Norton product to receive performance alerts when there is an increased usage of system resources by any program or process.
