Update on "Power Member Abilities": access to an avatar folder where you can choose different avatars!
Is that where you got your current avatar from?

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):

This took seconds to complete for me.

I think there should be a law for things like norton have you ever tried to uninstall Norton?
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/

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.
It will largely depend on the specific needs, the means, & the system, and not a little on personal tasteWell 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.

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.

a little bit is good, but a whole lot more isn't a whole lot better . . . most of the time. anyway with more users using computers that have no experience, i think they should offer two options, a simple and a "pro" (literally) mode, to cater to more people's needs.
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.

i make a switch to avast home edition... it seems fine, but the 30 days subscription thing is really troublesome... and i dont really like avast... it have too many features... never find anything on my computer... maybe my computer is clean...
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.
I really suggest you get it.

Plz Help
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.

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.
