if norton is givin a prob then try alternates and free versions like AVG

Its not about any viruses dudes. This happens mostly when a stubborn version of previously installed antivirus has left its registry signatures and Norton Antivirus has a bad habit that if your system is not totally clean of any other antivirus then it resets the registry value of application which you are trying to install.

Try out Regcleaner or Registry Mechanic to cleanup unwanted registry debris and reboot your machine and you ready to install your application.

I think a clean formatted installation of Win XP might help u. I had a similar problem with corrupted registry over a NAV 2004 trial.Later when I reinstalled the expired trial over with a NAV 2004 full version it never came out clean

Later I reinstalled Win and evrything was fine

May be due to conflict..

Hi!

You mentioned that you have tried many antivirus programs.

The problem you are facing may be due to conflict between your current antivirus and the previously installed one(s).

As already mentioned by a member, try cleaning the registry.

You may try cleaning/repairing registry at command prompt using reg command.
To know more about reg type "reg /?" at the command prompt without double quotes.

May be you should try Kaspersky Anti-Virus (1,40,000+ virus definitions, norton has only 70,000).

Hope that works out in your favour.

Just mentioned in the earlier post that y do we need to format it just for sake of some registry entries.

Very simple, registry is corrupt then u can clean the registry by some good software or do clean install of the antivirus.......Further if u think its a Virus, then make a connection with another pc (may be laptop) with a good antivirus and share the whole C drive (read/write enabled) of infected pc...and scan it with the laptop!
UR done!

Use Avast!

Use avast, it is simple and really good and best of all it's free.

It provides u with a firewall, Anti-Spyware, Network Shield and even automated boot- scan facilities.

U can donwload it from *www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

its a dangerous worm. u must get rid of it as soon as possible. its added by the DONK.B or DONK.C or DONK.L or DONK.M or DONK.O , etc.

Kill both the processes and remove them from Windows startup.

Got 120 Viruses

On scanning online with Kaspersky it showed 120 viruses while my AVG pro shows a few but nvr removes them or heal them.
One problem is that a virus has converted all my folders into system files with an .exe extension. Plz help me.And if possible give an option from freeware world.
