Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you're looking to optimise your computer's performance, store Internet files or download without worrying about catching a deadly virus, consider Norton SystemWorks 2002. This all-purpose utility suite promises top PC maintenance and protection, and includes new versions of Norton AntiVirus 2002, Utilities 2002, Clean Sweep 2002, and Roxio GoBack 3 Personal .

Norton Utilities remains one of the suite's two key products (AntiVirus being the other) and includes utilities such as Speed Disk, which defrags hard drives much faster than the basic Disk Defragmenter that's included in Windows; UnErase, a wizard that resurrects deleted files; System Doctor, a status control panel, which shows your PC's condition at a glance. If you buy additional Norton products, they all neatly integrate under one common system "console", a centralised front-end that lets you control and configure all the products. Another nice touch is that, at long last, all the utilities now share a consistent user interface. This makes it easier to use, as does the One Button Checkup tool, which runs seven of the most important System Works tools, scans the Registry, and verifies that AntiVirus is on duty, all with just a single click from the first screen you see after launching the suite.

Norton SystemWorks 2002 is an excellent suite of products for the everyday user and is one of the most cost-effective ways to acquire some first-rate software tools. Also available as an upgrade version.--Roger Gann

Think twice before purchasing this software.

I don't think it is a co-incidence that all the rave reviews relate to the 2001 version. Unlike previous versions, Systemworks 2002 requires you to uninstall all Norton products first. Unfortunately, they don't appear to have made this very easy, if at all possible. As a result, things tend to go drastically wrong.

I've tried to install NSW2002 five times without success. Judging by the number of 'bad install' comments on the support page, I'm not the only one struggling.

Be prepared to jump through lots of hoops, like install in safe mode, edit the registry or manually uninstall.

This software is vital for anyone who owns a PC, in addition to its famous anti-virus qualities, it also has the capacity to optimise the performance of your computer. It can also clear out unwanted internet clutter, speed up your hard disk, detect and repair errors. When I ran my first system scan it detected 160 errors and repaired them for me. This software is very easy to use, even for a beginner.

...thanks to this product.

As students will know it's exam time just now so I'll set you a small test to get you in the mood for exams or, for you non-students, to help you empathise with them.

Consider the following senario:
I have a 2-3 yr. old PC on which I have performed a clean-install of XP.
My Father has a brand new PC with XP preloaded on it.

Which of these machines crashes daily, is slower and invariably requires restarts after connecting "hot-swappable" USB peripherals?

If you said the older PC you would be wrong. It's the shiny new machine.

Now, which of these had SystemWorks(and the superbly integrated Norton Firewall) painlessly, quickly and easily installed?

You guessed it. The older one!

This is not the most scientific of tests, I know, but I believe my own case highlights why you need this software.
In a time when 1 in 5 PC's have at least one virus it is foolish to not spend the money now
and hope it never happens to you.
If you want to know about the benifits of this software I suggest you read the official review and take it at face value. One other piece of advice - get Norton Personal Firewall too. It sets itself up automatically, for the most part, and will protect you from not only hackers but also web sites scanning your computer. Again, why take a chance.

Without wanting to scaremonger I think it should be highlighted that if you have and sensitive documents (client/patient/bank/school records) or material of sentimental value (photos, letters or songs) that you don't want destroyed or worse, made available to all and sundry, then this is for you.

It does exactly what it says on the... er,... disproportionately large cardboard box containg a CD and a well set out, if totally supefluous (thanks to the products ease of use), manual.

May you have many happy hours with your newly optimsed, error-and-virus-free hard-disk.
