Norton Utilities 15

Installed Norton Utilities 15 and immediately installed all updates.  Attempted to compress the registry and then rebooted the computer.  Computer would not reboot and windows could not find the problem.  Attempted to restore the registry to an earlier version.  Earlier versions were available but could not restore.  Drive C: message "Enable drive protection".  Used different computer to find a manual solution online which required manually restoring backup registry files while in system repair.  Unacceptable!


Welcome,
Version 15 isn't the current version which may have some bearing on the situation. What is your operating system and the version of the Norton security program you are running

Thanks

 

Bonjour Mico49 ,

 

Et quelle est cette petite question ?

 

Miss

I ran the full Norton utilities package, defrag, registry cleaner and disk cleaner and something unusual happened. My total HD space increased by 300 gb! It turns out that when disk is bleached, it leaves behind bleached files which are each 1 gb. The files should be automatically deleted at the end of the bleach process to release the disk space, but this apparently does not happen. I discovered this when Norton Ghost kept crashing because there was no longer enough room on the back up drive. It was apparently backing up all the bleached files.
