I found all but C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\liveUpdate Notice. Instead I fould C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu|Programs\NortonInternetSecurity\*.*, which I added to the excluded items. The Lavasoft 2007 must be a left over file as I do have Lavasoft 2008 ad ware installed. Again thanks.

Many thanks for the info. I will add this info to my exclusions. For the record I reran cclean registry cleaner and unclecked all items that mentioned my Norton Virusscan and cleaned the registry and my Norton is still working. Thanks again for your help.

Interesting reply! I quess CCleaner is safe to use if one really knows what they are doing. One would think that CCleaner would only suggest that you delete entries that no longer are useful or serve no purpose. Why would it suggest that you delete entries that will cause you to loose active programs on your computer? Apparently it is only safe to use if you are willing to restore your system if something goes wrong. Thanks for the info. I will try to be more careful in what I delete.

Thanks, good idea, The last time this happened(last time I ran CCleaner) I did try the exclusion but apparently did not do the right thing since it happened again. Unfortunately this makes me not want to run CCleaner until I get brave again. The registry text is included with the current Attachments registry.txt registry.txt

Everytime I clean the registry with CCleaner my Norton Security stops working until I restore the registry entries deleted with CCleaner. When I scan the entries to be deleted I don't see any that refer to Norton. Is this a common problem and how does one get around it?
