    I want to get rid of Norton and Install AVAST because AVAST seems to be more reliable, it is free, and takes up less space on my PC... Norton is like a cancer eating away at every part of my comp...

    Only... there is one thing I like about Norton Systemworks - I run a windows check (or a one-button-checkup) and it finds problems in my registery... tells me how many problems... and then fixes them.

    This registery fix option doesn't come with AVAST. There are other things in Norton Systemworks that are already installed in my PC. For instance, Speed-disk is basically Windows Defrag, and CleanSweep is useless because I have Evidence-Eliminator...

    But this Registery Fix option I don't have... or at least don't know I have.

    I don't want to lose this function; so what do I do? Does windows already have a registery fix prog, or is there a free one that I can get somewhere...

    After I solve this, I will be uninstalling Norton. Thanks.

    Sorry, I meant Tuneup Utilities.
    That one looks good, but you might want to try Tuneup Utilities anyway. It does everything Norton Windoctor does and more.
