have tried researching but can't find any useful info.

Click start then search, include hidden and system files, look for eeCtrl.sys

Is it in common files or system32

What error does it give if you try to delete the registry entry

[joejobs]

Cannot Delete _XX_: Error while deleting key

[Retired Tech]

Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit, select all, right click any file, click delete, confirm

Click start then run, type msconfig then press enter, click start up, is there an entry for Eraser Engine, if so, remove the tick, click apply and reboot

Try the registry entry

Cleared Prefetch.
but still getting the error message when deleting.

Have you got other Symantec products on the PC

When you searched for eeCtrl it didn't show?
