Norton Crashguard 4.0

Summary: Causes crashes not prevents them
Review: Be Warned They CHARGE for Call in support now!!

In my opinion; Norton used to make some great products. I used to recommend their Norton Utilities and Anti Virus programs to friends and install them on computers I assembled for them. Sadly, this has changed. They now have an online forum where you are forced to ask your questions. They may even get around to answering your question, but it takes days to get correct answers (if ever). The quality of their software has plummeted also. Several other companies make similar products that are FAR superior. Not only do I not give them a positive review, I strongly recommend you do NOT use them.

Summary: Norton Crashguard
Review: It is a really good programme to protect your system against crashes. But buy it along with Norton Utilities. With Norton Utilities installed on your PC you would rarely get PC crashes in the first place. Great product Norton Utilities. A must for every PC user.

Summary: Why buy it alone?
Review: Norton System Works 2000 has this along with Ghost 2000, Antivirus 2000, Utilities 2000 and Cleansweep for just a few dollars more. Get it all. It's one of the best software packages out there.

Summary: Overall, it's great...
Review: When I bought CrashGuard for about $10 at my local office supply store (I have CrashGuard 3), it seemed like a good deal. It works great -- it gives me a minute or so to save my documents before they crash for good. But...I was suprised at what came with CrashGuard. A virus checker? A shortcut verifier? A disk defragmenter? (And lots of other cool extras too!) My computer works much better now...and not to mention the great free subscription to Norton Web Services. LiveUpdate Pro detects programs like Internet Explorer, Office, Windows, and even games like RollerCoaster Tycoon and SimCity 3000! It finds updates for these programs and security patches. Of course, there is one gripe I have with it... CrashGuard seems to crash itself more than all the other programs I have...itsn't that ironic? But the cool extras (the FAST disk defragmenter, virus scanner, registry scanner, etc...) make it a good buy. If only it wouldn't crash itself.So,it gets an overall "4"...
