Re: i cannot remove norton ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I use Norton antivirus 2006, have used norton av for years and have no
problem with it. I have systemworks 2006 but only use av and ghost I dont
even install the other parts. Because of the nature of the program,
Systemworks integrates at the heart of windows and sometimes install
problems crop up. I seen install problems with lots of programs over the
years but at least norton make tools to remove the parts if the there are
problems.

I recommend avast or AVG to customers of mine and had at one who had a virus
trash their hard drive after using avast. Obviously one isn't significant
but it shows that problems crop up with any program. I personally would
never run any registry fixing program such as found in systemworks but you
highly recommend systemworks as well as other registry cleaners. Over time
you will see that they cause problems not fix them.
