My computer bluescreened twice with Norton, both my daughters had their registry files corrupted so we ditched Norton. Now my sister and her family are getting the same bluescreen and registry crashes with McAffee. What is up with the big names?

All machines except mine have 2 MB, I'm at 1.75MB of RAM

Things like this have cropped up before and it has always been attributed to human error.
(for those who DON'T know, that's a quote from 2001 by HAL aka HAL 9000)
It's a joke people, I'm not in a particularly serious mood right now.

Yes, they often do. Both programs are resource intensive and are known to cause a number of issues, especially when trying to uninstall them.
Your best bet is Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Although it is expensive, it has an extremely high malware detection rate. The good news is that you can get it for free. AOL bought the rights to issue a free license under the name "Active Virus Shield". You do not need an AOL account to use it and it is a very nice and effective anti-virus solution. You can download it at the url below.

Hope this helps.

Well
A good registry cleaner I use is CCleaner. It's a reliable tool to get rid of worms, trojams, malwares and viruses that affect your pc performances. Free download here http://j.mp/UrAyVg
You should definitly try it

I used to have Norton Antivirus before but I really didn't like it either I kept getting a lot of problems with it also, so I ditched it and went with Window's Live OneCare I like this one much better so I suggest you should go with that one it worked for me.

This MUST be due to low RAM. You must at LEAST have 512MB of RAM to get this things run smoothly.
