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.

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. Systemworks 2006 Premier also keeps your computer clean of any data that outsiders could use to monitor your Internet activity or buying habits by cleaning up unwanted cookies. And by removing cache and temporary files automatically, and defragmenting your hard drive, your computer's performance will be optimized. The software even has a feature that compares the performance of your computer with similar computers. In short, this premier 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 Premier is the most comprehensive way you can keep your PC and your valuable data protected.

Never Again! May 15, 2007 Michael Biggs (California) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using Norton Utilities since the MS DOS days, when it was truly a lifesaver. That was a long time ago. It still does a reasonable job keeping viruses out, tuning up hard drives, and a few other useful tasks, although it takes a lot of memory and computer resources to do it. But the response from customer support when the activation "feature" failed after installation (thereby allowing me only 15 days of product use for software that I purchased) was unforgiveable. I was told that the software had already been installed, according to their records, and so I would have to buy new software. When I persuaded the support person to tell me when the installation had occured, I was given dates for 4 installations, all of which occurred before I bought the software! The result? No apology, no activation key, just a list of everything related to my purchase (CD, manual, etc.) and instructions to mail it all to Ireland...Symantec is in California, I live in California! I will be exploring the many free or low cost software packages that perform the same functions better than Norton, with less impact on system performance, and without the grief (run a Google search sometime to see what it takes to remove Norton once its installed...you'll be shocked)
Never Use Synmantec Product December 23, 2006 C. Qiu 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
First time but will be the last time to buy anything from this company. I would give -100 score if there is. (1)Extremely Slow scan, I thought it will demage hard drive if used for long time; (2)I installed on one machine then on second (license allowed), uninstalled then install several time. all machine locked. pop up RED fix error message; (3)VERY BAD customer service, you need to search all place on website then you could find use less customer support. (4)Such bad product, you need to renew OR re suscribe periodically to pay extra money, cost very high. very simple other anti virus software will do same thing with only less than $20; (5)Customer service is very bad, I sold this, after 3 month VERY UNSATISFIED USAGE (I bought at $70 retail box). However Symantec declines to transfer license. RIDICULUS, RIDICULUS. EVEN Microsoft will allow license. What does Synmantec think they are? Doing business in such a meager and narraw minded short sight. No wonder they have such a bad product; (6)Advice to all buyers, try CA s-trust or MAfree. Much compact and cheap . Better performance than this.
Comprehensive with some cool tools, but SLOW. December 14, 2006 J. Schneider (Mosinee, WI United States) Fortunately I haven't had any nightmare scenarios as discussed in several other reviews here. However I can add to the many comments on how it slows your system to a crawl: initial log-in is now as follows: turn on computer, then take a shower and have breakfast, then come back to computer and check email, etc. Having seen all these horror stories here, I'm officially nervous: I'm going to uninstall it completely, then just reinstall the non-invasive components (and perhaps either Ghost or GoBack). I'll go with something simpler and lass bulky for my basic protections... between MS Antivirus, Spybot, Etrust, and AdAware (all free), I'm sure I can figure something out.
I loved it ...Now I hate it !!! December 9, 2006 Richard Antczak (Phila. area) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
You can review my initial impression on Norton 2006 below ....but a few months have passed ...and I must humbly change my opinion...As opposed to previous Norton products, this one has caused more trouble than its worth... Stick to McAfee or Kaspersky... Norton has become an anti-virus program that morphed into a virus unto itself... Come on guys , you can do better than this !!! I have been a Norton user since before Windows ...and truly find that despite the minor little quirks the program may cause ...its the lesser of two evils...Hey ...any program that interacts on a minute to minute basis with the entire operating system 24/7 is going to make your system perform a little differently than before you installed Norton. I just went from Norton 2002 to 2006 and LOVE IT ...after the [...] past user rebate and discount price, it only cost me $[...] bucks.... Just the Norton Goback + Ghost are worth the price of admission...Utilities is the only way to keep your computer a Lean ,Mean , Fightin Machine ! Nothings perfect , but Norton strives to be ...and I think they do the best job out there !! Rich Antczak
Need to use basis only December 2, 2006 Bruce Sauls (Raleigh, NC) Lights are on but no one is in the back room. I wonder if all the talent has left this company. I feel like I'm piling on, but, like many of the other reviewers here, I have used Norton for over a decade, from at least the early Mac and 286/386 PC processor days, as a Mac & PC software developer. I was "upgrading" from NSW 2005 Premier to NSW 2006 Premier and it locked up my laptop last night. Seems to have installed all but the Norton AntiVirus. I started reinstalling over an hour ago, and the progress is unbelievably slow, even after I removed all external hard drives, enough to drive me to this desktop machine to search the web for similar experience. I feel like I should have looked at the Amazon reviews first. Interestingly, during the incredibly slow reinstall, there doesn't seem to be much hard drive activity, certainly less than the network activity. What is Symantec doing, cataloging my software? The only thing I can say is that if you need Norton Ghost, you may have to buy this. I'm not sure if it is available separately, but it is something I need in my work. Norton AV has also caught a number of email viruses over the years, but I've now gone with web hosting company with amazingly good anti-spam software (godaddy). I tried to set up my machine with the free McAffee antivirus that comes with AOL a couple of years back, but many wasted hours later, after Norton Removal Tool, and even meticulously combing through the registry and deleting entries it would never show completely clear of Norton. Use this product only if you have to for some reason.
