Don't blame you for being a bit angry, but there are a multitude of posts here you could have searched out, before your post.

Got Norton or MacAfee? Both can cause this problem, especially Norton's One Button Checkup.

I just had a bad cpu week and this is the last thing i want to deal with...and all the ones i found said was clean install...bla bla bla. I wouldnt be as upset if it were a hacked program but I bought it, and registered it... Would have never expected it. if it were not for my new drives not being noticed i would still be using ez cd creator...aah the simple days...LOL oh yes im rinning norton...how do i fix it. as i said the patch i was sent wouldnot even do anything.

Don't run the One Button Checkup. Disable it from automatically running. I don't use that feature. I run all of the Norton programs separately.

The main program that causes problems is Norton's WinDoctor. I don't have the problem with EMC 9, but I did have that problem with EMC 9 Deluxe, when running WinDoctor and deleting the invalid registry entries.

Can you be a more condescending ass?

Thank you for the help I have disabled the use of those programs. This is puzzeling as to why if they only fix odd entries that it affects this software. Why would it create invalid reg entries...

EMC 9 doesn't create invalid entries. Norton just sees them as invalid entries, and I haven't a clue why.

grandpabruce,

Is there a different norton type of program out there that does not have this problem? My norton scrip is up in about two months and I dont want to constantly have this problem? I had read elseware that Mcaffe(sp) also does not play well with others? Any hepl here will also be appriciated.

No problem, Neil.

I think the OP was asking about a replacement for One Button Checkup rather than the anti-virus there

I use Ashampoo Winoptimizer myself and that has never caused the problems that have been reported with either Norton or McAfee. It does everything that the Norton Systemworks does with the exception of anti-virus, but couple that with AVG and you should be good to go

I am also having this problem, how do I correct this problem? When I try to uninstall EMC 9 I get the blue screen of death, had to recover my system and afraid to do anything else can't aford to lose my system over this.
