    Norton IS09 is great. I use it on 3 systems. Well worth having. But I never used Norton 360.

    you dont need to clean your registry EVER , you may neeed to defrag or compact it , that CAN help , but clean it?? nah .. dont beleive the hype from the reg cleaner companies its rubbish

    I dont like Norton , but thats just me , my hatred goes back to the day it was a system hog , its not anymore , we have 360 at work and i was pleasantly surprised and i know thw Antivirus is second to none (except Eset )

    however if i were to use Norton id stick with the basic internet security not 360 , they work too hard to make 360 idiot proof and give you very little control over what it does , but its your money :P

    As Archie said, stay away from registry cleaners in any form or fashion - if you want to stay out of trouble.

    I am quite happy to just use, on a regular basis,
    Computer - C - Right click - Properties - Tools - Defrag

    I agree with what Archie123 & whs said about registry cleaners.

    Evaluate / monitor it as you go.
    Good luck.
