    Nobody wants to expect the worst, but in today's digital world, you must keep your computer and your digital files protected at all times. Recipient of the PC World's "Best Buy" award (June 2005), Norton Systemworks 2006 offers some of the industry's most comprehensive solutions that are designed not only to keep viruses and hackers from reaching your files, but that will also keep your computer running smoothly and efficiently.


    Systemworks 2006 offers comprehensive solutions to keep viruses and hackers from reaching your files.

    Antivirus automatically removes viruses. View larger.

    Keeps your computer running smoothly and efficiently. View larger.

    GoBack allows you to undo problems with your PC. View larger.

    From Protection to Detection Included with Systemworks 2006 are five leading utilities that are designed to help you protect your computer and get the most out of its computing power: Norton AntiVirus, Norton Utilities, Norton GoBack, CheckIt Diagnostics, and System Optimizer.

    Norton AntiVirus automatically removes viruses, Trojan horses, and worms from your hard drive and files, and checks incoming and outgoing email attachments for viruses. It is estimated that every five minutes, a new worm or security threat is created. AntiVirus automatically downloads updates to keep these threats away from your data. Among the threats it detects and removes are dangerous spyware, keystroke loggers, and other unwanted monitoring software. And when you install AntiVirus, it automatically disinfects your system, so you start off with a clean, virus-free computer.

    Norton Utilities is a suite of utilities, which run continuously in the background, that can help you recover from crashes, repair your system, and fix errors on your hard disk. It also lets you compare different file versions and recover deleted files, and it helps to optimize the performance of your hard drive.

    Norton GoBack allows you to easily undo problems with your PC. You can restore your PC to a healthy state by going back minutes, hours, or even days (depending on available disk space that you have). You can also GoBack to restore files that have been deleted or modified, and to try new software safely. CheckIt Diagnostics, which is also included in the suite, offers one of the quickest and most thorough evaluations of a PC's hardware, and System Optimizer gathers all your Windows configuration controls in a single program.

    In short, this suite of integrated security solutions will protect your PC from viruses, optimize its performance, and safeguard your information through backup and data recovery. And with a LiveUpdate function that automatically downloads updates directly to your computer, Systemworks 2006 is the most comprehensive way you can keep your PC and your valuable data protected.



    Product Description
    Norton SystemWorks 2006 Basic Edition lets you enhance your computer's performance - diagnose, repair, and recover with confidence. Includes Norton Utilities, Norton GoBack, CheckIt Diagnostics and System Optimizer. Prevent problems from getting in the way.

    1 out of 5 stars Forced to give it a star   July 27, 2008
    Marilyn Johnson (Rockville, MD)
    Steer clear of Norton/Symatec products. My HP came with Norton SystemWorks 2006 trial version and I thought it wss fine. Assumed the installation of the product would be quick and painless. Don't remember all that went wrong, but one thing is that I was told by customer support after the fact that I should have uninstalled the trial version before installing the version I had purchased. It took forever to install even when there weren't problems. After suffering with a computer that had slowed to a crawl I was able to determine that it was due to a setting in my Norton Internet Security 2006 program. I finally stopped using it even though I had purchased a two-year version. The Windows uninstall program chugged along for quite a while before announcing that the program could not be removed. Got the Norton removal tool from the web and that's what I'm doing right now. I had not been using the product for months, but it is so hard to get rid of, that I hadn't done so.

    Systemworks traditionally has done everything with satisfaction for me. But I recently tried trend micros pc-cillin 2007 internet security and I thought that was edge above all the other software out there I've tried. I catches just about everything.

    I can't even comment on the actual System Works application because I never got it to run - it ruined my system right after install! Once I installed it, it asked for a reboot, then came back wtih "Load Error! Press a key to reboot..." which just lead to the error message again, and again, and again.

    A chat with tech support (after an hour wait) revealed that there are problems with the GoBack files, so I had to create a bootable CD, and do all kind of things which I haven't been able to do yet since my burner software doesn't have Image capability - necessary for creating this bootable cd.

    Don't buy it, don't install it, don't use it - uninstall everything Norton/Symantec and never go back. I'll be lucky if I ever get my computer working again.....Thanks Symantec!!!!!



    1 out of 5 stars It is not what it used to be   April 19, 2007
    Robert D. Oakley (Groveland, CA United States)
    After over a year and a half including renewing for updates I've now discarded Norton SW 2006. it was problamatic and a waste of money. It conflicts with Partition magic another Symantec product and will not work with many MS updates. My system is now operating trouble free since I've uninstalled NSW. Previously my computer was eratic and crashed frquently.

    I've been using Norton products for over 10 years.
    Each year they get more complex and more bulky.
    However, once the product is configured properly
    it tends to run well, detects intrusions and can
    improve the health of just about any Windows based system.
    The online update process seems to work well.
    However if you change your hardware system configuration
    you may have to re-activate the product.

    The default (out-of-box) settings ALWAYS needs tweaking.
    The 2007 version is even more bloated than this version.
