Omar, Yes, it's safe. I've used it on my computer to remove Norton SystemWorks and Norton Internet Security. Both programs are gone and nothing else has been affected.

Here's a link: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Norton_Removal_Tool_SymNRT_d4749.html Again, I can't stress enough how dangerous it is to mess with your registry, even cleaning it can remove things that your system really needs, possibly preventing clean boot ups in the future. If you decide to scrub your registry, BACK IT UP FIRST. Cleaning your registry won't really make your computer faster, unless the win.ini and autoexec.bat and other bootup process refer to all those keys in the registry. Otherwise, they're just sitting there, not causing any problems. -Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 8:14 PM Subject: [!!

Your information here though suggests otherwise, and I appreciate what you've said. I had actually loaded norton antivirus on my comp before I knew it was that bad on the system. Is there any safe way of removing it? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paper Music To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 9:56 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: registry cleaner Omar, Generally, registry cleaners are not all they're cracked up to be. I would be very careful when using a scrubber on your registry. Is there anything in particular that you are hoping to eliminate from your computer? If you're just doing clean-up, don't mess with the registry. Unless you've got bad key values there, you should never have to touch the registry. If you do decide to forge ahead with this risky business, I can't make a definitive recommendation, except DO NOT use any Symantec or Norton products. They're elephant-ware, like Internet Explorer, and will bog your system down.

If so, am I suppose to choose "user determines problems" or "regscrub finds problems" when cleaning it out? Also, what are some other accessible registry cleaning programs anyone would recommend? Thanks. OMAR BINNO AIM: LOD1116 SKYPE: obinno1 WEBSITE: www.omarbinno.com ____________________________________________________________ Compete with the big boys.
