I concor. However if you do have some examples of these 'detections' please do share the info on them (location/filename etc), so we can confirm they are false positives. --lee

Is that where you got your current avatar from? --lee

The Registry is just a set of files as any other. So it can be defragmented. But i thought it could only be done at boot time, this is what i was told anyway. Anyway, i have always used Pagedefrag (from sysinternals): http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pagedefrag.shtml This took seconds to complete for me. --lee

Very cool Tarun, very cool --lee

Or just post it on your website, then give us the link. --lee

LOL Yea i have 2039 post on the avast forums, the highest post count there is 9517. Also 195 incoming PM's (to me) And 131 outgoing PM's (to other people). But its not a compitition, its just i like to help poeple out. --lee

Also: What is the exact error mesage your getting? What is your OS? --lee

Nope, not there on mine, must be a power member thing --lee

Ahh i see, thanks Chicano666 --lee

What exactly do me mean by this if you don't mind me asking. --lee

This is a very good point, Nortan is very hard to remove without the removal tool, so it conflicts with any AV you put on after it. Also it slows down your pc alot, you say you need a good high end pc to run it, but why should someone have to have a exspensive PC to run nortan when there are free ones that use less resources and do just as well or even better. Best one to use is called Avast Anti-virus: http://www.avast.com/ Second best but one you have to pay for is called Kaspersky: http://www.kaspersky.com/ --lee

rustik_one, I fully, agree, norton does have great detection rate, i just personaly am not a great liker of it, i much prefer Avast, i always buy my products though, never crack them. Well i do allot of meeting specific user needs in college for products (hardware and software), but me personaly i feel it is also largly on personal preferences aswell, i like the way avast looks and feels, and its easy for me to use its avanced customizable features. But of course, not everyone can have the same opinon, for example, i like Firefox and Opera over IE, but other people prefer it the other way around. --lee

rustik_one, FYI Avast Pro is as good if not better then Norton, just because its not 'industrial standard' or the most popular doesn't make it bad. --lee

And as i said, theres is a Free and paid version (Home and Pro), see here for differences: http://www.avast.com/eng/av4_version_comp.html Again, i really do recomend this product. --lee

Your suppost to register avast on there website, takes about 1 min, after this you just re-register it every 14 months (privacy measure), its proved to have better detection rates then AVG, can remove a virus when it finds it, avg not so good at this, and you have to scan the whole of your harddrive with AVG just to find the virus again. But you say it has too many features, surely this is a good thing?, i love this fact with my Avast, i even plan to buy the Pro version, plus the new BETA version (soon to go final) is a great improvement on its already great program. The free (BETA) version has 7 providers: Instent messaging Internet Mail Network Shield P2P shield Standard Shield Web Shield Outlook/Exchange All of the above are fully customizable, there also are allot more settings for the program running itself, for example you can set it to do abort/move infection automatically, or update the program/definitions automatically. Also the Pro (paid) version has a Script Blocker which is customizable, and the pro version is more customizable in itself. http://www.avast.com/ I really suggest you get it. --lee

Well you could have a look at my post count on the avast forums below if you wanted, its not a contest really though. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?action=profile;u=5309 I can't speak for zaphirer/ Tarun etc, but i know that it makes me feel good knowing i have helped so many people out when they needed it. --lee

Again, its an opinon thing, everyone feels differently, i personaly feel norton is aload of crap, but some people love it, i use Avast Anti-virus myself, i feel that is the best...IMHO. http://www.avast.com/index.htm --lee

I think its 50 --lee
