If I install Norton Utilities on January 1st; run a Registry Checker on January 1st, and it fixes 30 problems.
And on January 15th I decided to un install Norton Utilities; you are saying that it wont bring back my errors to beginning?
If you know you want to go back to where you were before installing the NU, you could restore the registry changes from within NU before you uninstall.Just uninstalling would not automatically restore things for you. It would be assumed that you allowed the changes originally and if you did not restore them you wanted to keep them.
I mean I figured its like the same with a Virus program right? You put files in Quarrantine and if you un install it that the files are a free roam; so that way when you download the next virus checker it re puts the files back in a quarrantine folder
The files would never be left 'free to roam'. As Dick mentions, Norton would ask if you wanted to keep the quarantine items in quarantine or delete them. If you kept them, they would have a file extension that would not allow execution of the files.
But I'm guessing not huh
As far as the sfc/scannow...yeah I did that amongst my first ways to fix my problem
I then disabled every Windows Feature, rebooted PC and re enabled nearly all of em (since I forgot which I disabled LOL but none relating to internet/network) and it still didnt work
Performing an actual windows update didnt find any problems
Looking thru a Hijack This log didnt find anything
Scanning for Viruses' still nothing
Aside from me wiping this hard drive and starting fresh and or un installing Norton in hopes my original entries can be back...then I'm not sure what to do.
I am hoping for a new hard drive and a new operating system next month though :)
That should give you a fresh start.
