 Software : Norton SystemWorks 2008 Premier Edition 11.0 |
|
Rating:  - A Really Good Product for the Money
I've been using Norton Systemworks for some time now and have been very satisfied with the results. It does a very good job of cleaning up your HDD, registry, etc. along with scanning for viruses and spyware. For those that don't have a FAST internet connection- BEWARE. As soon as it installs, it will go to the Norton website to look for updates. If you have a dial up connection, you will be there for a WHILE!! Unless you need it, I would suggest you turn off some of the automatic features as it will slow down your computer. If you are smart about what you download and are careful NOT to open suspicious e-mails and stick to well known websites, you can manually scan most things and be just fine. GOOD LUCK and ENJOY this helpful product.

WARNING to anyone thinking about buying this product! Please understand that you will not be buying this product only RENTING it. If you do not renew every year the product stops working....COMPLETELY! I'm not just talking about updates, etc. It actually tells you that it has stopped working and it won't work unless you renew. I have just wasted more than 2 hours with Norton's online tech support. This is the case with ALL Norton products and I am quoting the tech.

I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF NORTON SYSTEM WORKS SINCE I HAVE OWNED A COMPUTER. THIS LATEST VERSION THE PREMIER EDITION 11.0 HAS ALL I NEED AND MORE. INSTALL EASY, SETUP EASY, UPDATES, IN SIMPLE TERMS IT WORKS GREAT. I WOULD RECOMMEND.
Rating: - bug ridden mess that does more harm than good
I've been using Norton Utilities for many many years. Starting back in the early macintosh days, and now right up to windows vista. What's really sad is to see their product get worse and worse each year. But I think this one is the last straw.
First I had problems with my rebate (for owning a prior version). Then I had problems with licensing. Although I went through the licensing procedure and registered my product, the backup utility that is part of this got installed as a "trial" and kept nagging me until it timed out. The product also crashes frequently, and after finally getting my license squared away, then the backup utility refused to work. I eventually learned that it had corrupted its internal database, making it useless.
Honestly, even though it is inexpensive for prior version users to upgrade to this version (assuming they honor their rebate), I still regret doing it. I would definitely recommend macafee for security and virus removal, and pretty much anything else for backups. It's really sad to see what Symmantec did to this once great product.
Rating:  - Does what it says
I have been Symantec product user for years and this is my third edition of Norton SystemWorks. Particuarly like the utilities aspect for troubleshooting. Support is good as well.
