Summary: XP Poison
Review: If you buy this program for WindowsXP then you need to make sure when you run Window Doctor to check every registry entry, shortcut and program it wants to delete and make sure you don't need it. NSW makes assumptions on these things, and if you are use to allowing Window Doctor to fix automatically on older Windows Operating Systems, then change your submissiveness with XP. It will eat icons in the task bar, registry entries and bits and pieces of programs and render them inoperable. If you don't mind cluttering up your hard drive with millions of deleted entries then you can run Norton Prtected Recycle Bin and maybe correct a few of these Assumed Deletions. Just stick with Norton Anti-Virus and use XP and your own intelligence to correct any real problems you might come across.

Summary: System Works 2002 (Wonder Works 2002 !)
Review: Norton System Works 2002, is updated from the previous edition and is now fully compatible with windows XP. Installation was a breeze. The program has a more powerful defrag than Windows. You can defrag a file by moving its bits together, but Windows does not compact the disk ie move files to fill the gaps. The disk doctor is also a more powerful program.
The price is worth it for a full Virus Scanner and fax software. This program will fix most problems including cleaning internet mess.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE.
Review: I purchased Norton SystemWorks 2002 and installed in on my healthy PC that had no major problems; I just needed basic maintenance and virus protection. After installing and running the utilities, CleanSweep obliterated a massive portion of my hard drive, including over 80% of the 'My Documents' folder, and numerous Program files, components, and extensions. I then discovered the horrible truth about Symantec support: 30 bucks per support phone call, since you obviously can't use the free online help with a crashed machine (I used a friend's computer to submit an inquiry, & waited 2 business days and a weekend for a response). AVOID THIS PRODUCT AT ALL COSTS. To date, I've wasted a good 40 hours reinstalling Windows & all my software, and even after running a different Utilites program to repair the damage, my machine still does not run half as well as it did pre-Norton. Unless you consider tedious system rebuilding an exciting challenge, don't make the mistake I did-- choose a better & safer Utilites suite.

Summary: A waste of time and money
Review: I purchased Norton Systemworks Professional 2002 for my home PC running Windows 2000. I was already running Norton Antivirus 2001 and wanted to unify my tools suite into a single interface (instead of the scattering of different tools from different vendors). When I installed Systemworks, I was very annoyed to learn that the 200 days of license time left on Antivirus 2001 would be lost since you cannot install Systemworks 2002 when other Norton products are already installed. Strike one for the software. I uninstalled Antivirus 2001 and installed Systemworks Professional 2002 on the system. I began having problems with other major applications. Things became so unreliable and unpredictable that I decided to get current backups of my files and reinstall everything. Strike two for the software. I reimaged the machine and installed Systemworks on the clean image. After running it for some time, I have now discovered that other actions that I took for granted with other tools are not available in Systemworks. While this is my fault for not investigating fully before purchasing, I feel like a "Professional" version should deliver more. Much more. Strike three. When I get the time, I will reinstall without Systemworks. I have previously been a happy user of Norton Antivirus and PCAnywhere, but this is the end of the road for me when it comes to Norton products.

Summary: Get it now !!
Review: I bought the origional Norton Systemworks. I was going to reinstall it on my new hard drive, but found out that Norton no longer supports it. So, I went out and bought Systemworks 2002.I just use the different products by themselves. If I ran System Doctor all the time, it'd probably crash my system, as I only have 64kb memory. But, from what I have found using this product, it is a very good product, and worth the price. Joe & Monty Hansen

Summary: Norton Ghost Component Warning:
Review: I have a laptop computer with a cd burner attached by a USB cable. I bought Norton Ghost 2002 to make an image of my drive on cd. Nowhere on the box, or in the advertisements does it say it will not do this with a USB cd burner. After I opened the box and started reading the manual, on page sixteen there is a warning that Ghost does not support USB cd burners. Be Advised

Summary: Too Bad, not quite ready for WindowsXP
Review: This was a great program before Microsoft introduced WindowsXP. Works great in Windows 98. In WindowsXP you will find some of the Norton's Utility functions provided under Windows 98 missing when running WindowsXP. In fact, I think even $39.95 is too much for what amounts to little more than a virus checker. All you get besides the virus checker under WindowXP is a (1) duplicate disk defrag program that functions at a slower rate than the one that ships with WindowsXP, (2) a disk doctor {which cannot fix any problems, they are be fixed by rebooting and the CHKDSK program} that functions exactly the same as the error-check utility provided by Microsoft, and (3) a program that checks the registry for missing keys, etc. If you have WindowsXP do not waste your money on SystemWorks, just buy a virus checker. If you are still using Windows 98 this is a great program.

Summary: useless
Review: This set of program is completely useless. All you need is an anti-virus tool. These other program just suck up you processoer and ram and basically just slow down everything you do. Aviod this program like white powder in your mailbox.

Summary: Some good tools for Pro's, but not for most
Review: First, Symantec needs to revise their OS claims...The ONLY program out of the box that works with XP is the anti-virus. I like the de-frager, but it really isn't as fast as the built in one [from Diskeeper] GHOST is excellent, but is a specialised tool for pros...that I already bought separately, which most companies using it will. My main problem is none works with XP; their last offering [2001] was released for win2000, and all the apps worked with it...this one was released for XP & nothing works.
