Exclamation Registry Smart Help
I just bought this to clean my registry because of leftover parts of Symantec that I can't get rid of. My Windows Live One Care is telling me to beware. What should I do?

Hi Registry cleaners can and often do cause more problems than you started with.

Why not to use a registry cleaner..

Hi, I stopped using registry cleaners for about 3 weeks ago. My computer hasn't become any slower - rather faster, actually!

I'm afraid that it was my reg cleaners that made my computer as slow as it is now....Stupid reg cleaners....

Well that was BEFORE i joined TSG, now all my ignorance is gone when it comes to reg cleaners, and my computer, as I said, is happier than ever!

Run the Norton Removal Tool instead.
