Summary: Forced to give it a star
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Good anitvirus software
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: System WORTHLESS is more like it
Comment: 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!!!!!
Customer Rating: Summary: It is not what it used to be
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Good and Bulky
Comment: 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.
