I have tried several "free Scans & repairs, but all they do is identify the problem, they don't repair them. I don't have  the the money to purchase registered versions, though most claim to scan for free and repair. I find that after I scan, I'm back at square one.With the same problem. I need immediate help.  My computer crashes frequently from registry errors, Pop ups, buffer over run, and patch errors.  Someone Please help. Is there a download that truly repairs for free.

Go to www.grisoft.com and download the FREE version of AVG.\nIt's an excellent virus and registry checker plus should help with your problems. Once you get to the website, select DOWNLOADS, from the left side of your screen, then select download the "free AVG" version. It's very simple to do and you continously get free automatic updates.\nGood luck.

I really need more information. What were you doing at the time your scanner crashed? Was something else running while you were installing your scanner. If so, that could be the reason you scanner crashed. Also, when you install something, you are supposed to TEMPORARILY DISABLE your anti virus and any firewall that you have. After the installation, re-enable both programs.

Great question and thanks for participating. It's obvious that you have a great deal of knowledge with computers simply because you wouldnt have the particular equipment in your computer if you didnt. There are a few things that can cause that problem as you know, cookies and temp files being the main cause. Also, by defragging the hard drive will help. The registry files can also cause problems of that nature and will need to be cleaned up and repaired if necessary. Registry cleaners are available at no charge in some cases and can be found by using www.google.com. Last of all, do not overlook the possibilities of trojans, viruses, etc which can also cause that problem for you. If I can help in any way, plz let me know and i'll work with you step by step until the problem is solved. Hit me on dumbbutt4321@yahoo.com if you'd like. Larry RadioShack 01-9590

We might not want to call technical support for whatever reason, it is still best to contact them as this was stated in that email. There are underlying factors why it still showing you those kind of errors but only SBC knows because of the fact this is their product and that by just merely uninstalling it might not really help. Phone technical support will really take longer than what you think in which perhaps that is why you did not bother to call, did you? But just try it and be patient because they really need to ask you "stupid" questions to get into the bottom of it. But if you come to think of it, they are just asking these because they are not physically present to where your computer is.. You may not agree, but I guess this is all you can get for a free support.

Everything in life happens for a reason.  Your friend can consider herself lucky that you made an error with the recovery disk.  \n\nNortons has been garbage for many years an each an every year Nortons, continues to get worse.  Does not know when your system is hit with a virus.  An if it did, unable to remove complete from your system.  The virus will still be there in your system.\n\nPlus if you go to add/remove and remove Nortons, you will  have quite a shock.  You think the program has been removed.  No, you are left with over 350 fragments of Nortons, glued to all your files and hidden all over your system.  \n\nBelieve me you will play total hell trying to remove the fragments.  Even the best computer techs., hate trying to get Nortons 100% out of your system.  \n\nShe should consider your error a blessing.\n\nHere is a free state of the art technology antivirus program that I have used for nine year an I never had one virus.

After one year all you have to do is request a free new key.\n\nhttp://www.avast.com\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

Great information but I think that should only be for people what have an idea what to look for and know what to do about it.\n\nWhile we are on the subjet, let's remember that a good virus scanner is important.  You don't need to spend alot of money or run a pirated copy.  Go to the first link below for a very effective and free copy.\n\nNeed to remove spyware?  Another great FREE tool is Ad-aware.  The second link below.\n\nLook around www.download.com for many other great products.  Before you ask, NO I do not work for them, I just love free products that work well.

Microsofts website is full of FS2004 troubleshooting like this, i went through it with my own copy, i still cant get it to work, ive tried redoing my entire computer, the game is flawless on everything except its crashing bugs that seem to have been devised by satan lol. I would have a problem installing, then it would run fine for about 2 or 3 weeks (i did this on 3 diff computers, and they all did this) and it would stop working, it would load up and then shut down with no evidence left behind that it had ever just been started up by me. Freaked me out, i called microsoft and they couldnt help me fix it, tried nearly everything known on earth and it still wouldnt work, ive searched the web an tons of people are having this problem, most likely its our video cards, mine is 128MB dedicated which is pretty powerful but not extreme enough im sure. I dont really know, my copy cost $50.00 and i cannot use it. Im not happy with the service problems. Microsoft has to fix these things. God bless!

You might be having spyware on your machine.\n\nFirst use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.\nAlso chuck Internet Explorer and switch to Mozilla Firefox!

How long ago did you purchase your machine? Most good retailers will give a years warranty. Have a look on any manuals you have for the "serial No" of any software you have lost and if you do mange to retreive any make sure you always make a back up disk. Daft i know but did you try system restore or scanreg/restore???

I would reboot into Safe Mode and run the scan again.   I would suspect an active virus that is preventing removal and causes your anti-virus to crash.   Safe mode is entered by using the F8 key during the startup sequence.  Hit F8 just before the Windows welcome screen appears, so you get a boot menu.  Pick SAFE MODE from the startup menu. \n\nYou might also have some nasty Spyware.  You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Go to www.grisoft.com and download the avg antivirus software. It is free and as good as Norton or any other antivirus software that charges you money. (it was on NBC's Today show one morning last year - that's how I learned about it)\n\nI also use spybot - search & destroy. I download lots of files etc.. and I never have problems with viruses or spyware... so this stuff works.
