  Duration of ownership: 3 Months

  Strengths: On-line customer support - technicians available 24/7 to walk you through installation and configuration problems

  Weaknesses:Resource hog - LiveUpdate uses 90% of CPU clock cycles on P4 1800 with 500MB RAM for hours at a time - makes computer unusable. On Athlon64 with 2GB RAM only uses 50% of CPU clock cycles

  Overall Evaluation: Had to uninstall and obtain refund - made P4 1800 computer unusable. Liveupdate would use 90% of CPU clock cycles and never complete update. SpeedDisk Defrag could not defrag 40GB hard drive after running for 14 hours - bombed at 85% complete. Checkit diagnostic icons referenced a non-existent WIN98 dll in an XP installation (a sign of poor programming - petty point) Liveupdate imbeds itself in the NT System superuser account - turns itself back on even when completely shut down through software AND services disabled. In short, behaved like virus on my machine. On my wife's computer, an Athlon64 4600, LiveUpdate only used 50% of CPU clock cycles - tech support needed 8 hours of remote access to clean up installation issues - she is keeping software, but not renewing subscription once it expires.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: None at all!

  Weaknesses:Systemworks Basic 10.0 refuse to work.

  Overall Evaluation: I have used Norton products for more than 20 years. I have never been so frustrated with software!First, I purchased the Norton Internet Security / Norton Systemworks download. Systemworks would not work properly. I went through all the suggested steps advised by Symantec. No improvement.I returned the downloaded software and purchased the DVD bundle of the same products. Installation went smoothly, but Systemworks would not work. Again, ran Symantec's removal tool (as recommended by Support) and reinstall everything.Systemworks Basic 10.0 still refuses to work. I trashed it and replaced it with my old Systemworks 2005 - which works fine.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Antivirus, many system utilities

  Weaknesses:Resource Hog, incompatible with Windows Vista

  Overall Evaluation: As with most other norton utilities/protection software, Norton SystemWorks is reliable does it job in blocking viruses together with other system checking utilities. But it also seriously drains computer resources and I uninstalled it in the end. Installation and uninstallation also are not as easy as it should have been.

  Strengths: 1. It's Norton; Anti-Virus works as it promises and I have never got any virus problem here. 2. Easy to install and utilities are great for fixing MS -windows problems

  Weaknesses:Annual installs are annoying; I just hope the subscription is there for longer period of time.

  Overall Evaluation: Well, the reason that I bought the Norton systemworks is that, one, I like the Norton Anti-virus software, and two, I like the windows-utilities parts.The antivirus section is the best one that I have seen. CA, Mcfee,...etc are not as good as the Norton and they are harder to use. In past eight years of Norton experiences, I have never have any virus infections nor any other related breakages. It's very reliable and works as it says.The windows utilites are time-saving software that saves you time on fixing windows problems. It fixes registery, removes invalid links....etc with one-click. Ever since I have it installed, I don't need to re-install my windows as often as I had needed to be before.Overall, I like it and it works as the retail box labeled; I recommend this to everyone.

  Duration of ownership: 3 Months

  Strengths: Keeps my machine clean

  Weaknesses:runs slow, install

  Overall Evaluation: I decided to first delete my old SystemWorks 2006 before attempting the installation of the new CD SystemWorks Standard. I had to delete some of the files manually inorder to get the install right. Once installed the program runs slow but does the job. I guess we have to pay a price(performance wise) inorder to protect our computers.
