Norton, Don't Surf The Internet Without It!!!

Have just recently upgraded to Norton System Works 2005... This program has saved me hours of work and hundreds of dollars... 24/7 support, easy to use & install, great protection from all the creeps out there that want your private information... Everyday you go without Norton, you put yourself at risk, you have to wonder why when there are easy solutions for serious problems... Get System Works and have fun surfing the web, let the program do your worrying for you...

Norton SystemWorks 2003 Pro - Symantec

Excellent with Win2000/XP- Symantec's BEST

Ghost2003 is great(!)- the newest Ghost9 can be bought separately & integrated: highly recommended!
A listing of my favorite features-
1.AntiVirus-(10/10) I love it! Best. AntiVirus. Ever.
2.Speed Disk-(9/10) I love it! Defragmentation in a Symantec style.
3.Disk Doctor-(9/10) I love it! Windows CHKDSK in a Symantec style.
4.Wipe Info-(9/10) great file deletion. Permanently destroys individual files, yet NOT free space on NTFS disks.
5.Ghost 2003-(10/10) awesome as usual. Newest Ghost9 is even better! Great with RAID 0- Ghost9 is speedier.
6.No Activation-(10/10) sounds strange, but these days the lack of activation= a very nice feature!
7.Quick Clean-(8/10) I like it; I created a shortcut to WCQUICK.EXE & frequently use it.
8.UnErase Wizard-(7/10) I like it; rarely need it. Extra protection from file deletion.
9.Process Viewer-(7/10) I like it; rarely need it. Windows Process Viewer/Manager.
10.WinDoctor-(6/10) semi-controversial. People say it ruins Windows(!). I mainly use it for analysis.
Bottom Line- Amazingly, even today 2003Pro is Symantec's best. I've had great success using it with ZoneAlarm, Spybot, and PartitionMagic 8.0. Ghost9 can be obtained individually and integrated. You're BEST value-for-money can be had by purchasing the Norton Ghost 9.0 & Partition Magic 8.0 Bundle. As far as 2005Premier is concerned: Get SystemWorks2003Pro instead! It has a better look, no product activation, is every bit as capable, and is EXCEEDINGLY cost-effective right now: it's still available if you're willing to search for it! Get it today!

Symantec - Norton SystemWorks 2003 Pro

When the going gets tough - SystemsWorks breaks down

I've been using this product for a couple of years now, the antivirus part of the program seems to work well enough.

I accidently deleted a directory full of MP3's, and have been completely UNABLE to recover them using SystemWorks Pro. Every other file recovery utility I've tried has been succcessful at seeing and recovering various files, but because they've all been demo's I couldn't use them to recover all the missing files.

Looks like I'll have to buy ANOTHER program just to recover the deleted files - what a bunch of crap.

STAY AWAY from SystemWorks.
