Norton (antiviris) makes me lag while in a game. My ping is still the same and it doesn't affect me besides in a game. I don't get disconnected or drop out of the game, it just lags like a motherfreaker. Yes, I am sure it is norton. The programs complete title is Norton Internet Security Online. I have allowed the port 6112.TCP and 6112.UDP (StarCraft port) out and in, and I have tried to play with norton disabled, but that won't work either. Yes I do have a dial up connection, but that has never affected the hundreds of SC games I've played before. Please help.
First of all get rid of norton its a piece of crap. The worst and most comp lagging anti virus i have ever seen. Seriously. Anyway, if your sure its norton, uninstall it and get rid of it and any files it trys to leave behind.

It lags when Norton is disabled? Then it's most likely something else, possibly your dial up connection or using an older computer.
Have you done any spyware/advare/virus scans recently?
Norton uses up a lot of memory, so if your computer is an old one, that could be the problem..
Anyway, NIS has anti spyware/virus and a firewall, so try disabling the firewall completely.
todays dial up is now lag. go get a better internet service like DSL.
