I just noticed a file in C:\ named SYM_REGISTRY_BACKUP.reg, dated 4/22008.
It is quite large (223MB) so I wanted to delete it to free up some space.
Searching the Internet, I can't tell if it is part of a virus or it I can
safely delete it without breaking some legit working program (assuming it is
not virus related). I scanned it with Norton and it says it is ok. Does
anyone know anything about this file?

Thanks in advance.
 
No problem.

While safe to delete, please make sure you have a backup somewhere such as
an external drive backup, restore function enabled, etc. Always easier to
recover a backup than to start over.

If you delete it, and encounter an error, you have deleted the backup to fix
the problem, lol.
Leave it alone!!!!!
