I have just got my computer back from repair after it was hacked, which I believe was the result of Norton 2011 causing registry leak. and failing to work properly.
Technician installed factory pre-installed version Norton internet security 2009 when repaired and it has been functioning properly last couple of days whilst using 2009, no errors or warnings in event viewer, but now I just checked event viewer after deciding to download Norton internet security 2011 and I'm getting the following again:
Windows detected your registry files still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now, The apllications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards.
Detail-
1 user registry handles leaked from\Registry\User\S-*-*-**-*********\-**********-*********-1000:
Process644(\Device\HardiskVolume1\System32\Svchost.exe) has opened key\Registry\USER\S-*-*-**-*********-**********-*********-1000
I did remove Norton Internet security 2009 properly first, uninstalling then re-booting, then using Norton removal tool, then re-booting, then using the removal tool a second time.
After spending £25 to get my computer repaired after what appears to be a problem with Norton internet security 2011, I now find I have the same problem as before, and I am worried I am insecured whilst online as I cannot trust that Norton is working correctly and need a solution to this problem, I have managed to keep my cool so far, but I am starting to get annoyed now. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me sort this issue out. Which appears to be a serious issue.
