    thanks - did submit a ticket to their tech support.
    May I ask what back up program you use. I am thinking of Paragon's.
    I am also a Carbonite user. Plus weekly I use Microsoft's SyncToy to copy documents and such to a hard drive.

    Are you using the free version.
    Does the free version also have their ssd trim?
    The paid home version i see also has ransom protection - bummer.
    If you have the paid version, what is synthetic full technology?
    Curious why your not using Paragon.

    Thx.

    I am using the Home paid version.

    I believe the free version has SSD trim feature.

    Synthetic full backup is a full backup and, depending on how the backup is set, an x amount of incremental backups merged with the full backup. See Backup Folder Synchronization - KnowledgeBase v7 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase - KnowledgeBase v7 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase for a visual explanation.

    Macrium is the most stable backup program that I have seen regarding system crashes is my numero uno reason. Second reason is that, AFAIK, it doesn't come bundled with other programs, like Acronis may come bundled with Comodo which in my opinion is not a good sign.

    I ended up ininstalling acronis and removed all traces - as found entries for older versions.
    Still not able to run a full norton scan. Contacted Norton’s tech support. Even with Acronis off my pc, I was still getting bsod and still not able to complete a full scan. We uninstalled malware bytes, super antispyware and ccleaner - as they thought those conflicted with Norton, but afterwards pc still crashed. my issue elevated up.

    Sorry for the delay in response, do you still need help?

    Please don't edit posts after a few hours if you need help, anyone trying to help will not be notified. I happen to check once in a while if I haven't responded somewhere, else I would've forgotten.

    Norton suggested a reinstall of 7 but i thought this would be a good time to upgrade to 10 instead. I could not upgrade so ended up fresh install of 10. Installed MS office, my wifi adapter and then Norton. Tried a full scan and sure enough bsod. The error/cause was something like sysfam... ? Not really sure as before i had a chance to see full name of what caused the crash, the pc rebooted. Its now with the Geek Squad at best buy - hope they can figure it out.

    Geek squad says the issue was with Start10 by stardock - as for some reason my hardware incompatible and so Norton viewed start10 as malicious. Now in search of a work around as i just dont like the look of windows 10 start menu. I am thinking of classic shell - unless you have another option.

    Sorry, I have no option. Unlike many others I don't like the looks of Windows 7 and earlier and love the Windows 10 look.
