Rating: - Lousy customer support
I've had to reformat my computer several times and each time I either get Norton Go Back to work, or the other diagnostics, but not both at the same time. A technician tried to help me online, but was unable. He told me someone would contact me the next day to resolve. That was months ago. It is still unresolved.
Norton does not seem to care about ensuring that its products work properly and this is one of the reasons I may be switching to a Mac for my next computer.
Rating: - Be Ready to Waste Days of Your Life Installing this!!!!
As a computer-literate, 10+ year veteran of using the Norton/Symantec brand, I have to call it quits after this. With a previous version of SystemWorks installed on my XP desktop, this SystemWorks upgrade required running Norton Removal Tool prior to installing--only the Removal Tool couldn't hack it. After wasting days trying to succeed with the install, I've given up. I'll find another Brand.
Rating: - Too restrictive for use when you really need it
I purchased this item because I needed to wipe a disk for resale. It turns out that it cannot wipe the disk of the computer it boots from since it needs to be "installed" first. So you have to remove the hard disk and put it in a different computer where the product is installed. Also, there is no way to make a bootable CD for use in repairing problems where the system cannot boot up. So, what use is Norton Disk Doctor then if it can only be used when the disk is working?
Rating: - Norton System Works Basic
Norton System Works BASIC dovetails perfectly with Spysweeper Antivirus and MS firewall. Computer is working better than ever, without conflicts.

I REALLY LIKE THE SYSTEM WORKS AND THIS WAS A GOOD VALUE FOR IT. I WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN NEXT YEAR. IT WAS DELIVERED FAST AND FREE SHIPPING IS GREAT.
