How did I cope without Systemworks!!!

I bought Norton Systemworks after suspecting I had downloaded a virus on my Mac. I had never used the product (or any other like it) before, so I was pleased that it was user friendly and extremely efficient. I ran both Antivirus and Utilities (both included in the price) to check my system for bugs and general "bad things" and within 2 hours, my Mac was back to its old self.

I am impressed by the wealth and versatility of all the other programms that are included on the CD-ROM (like Aladdin Spring Clean and Dantz Retrospect). Similar to the flagship programmes, they are easy to use, easy to install and set-up, and most importantly they work well.

I would reccommend Norton Systemworks Macintosh for anybody who is having problems with their Mac, or for people who want that extra peice of mind. My only problem is that I wish I had bought it sooner, then my Mac might not have kept crashing orignally.

Fully deserves the 5 star award.

It's not like we had much choice !

Whether it's a pc or a mac, symantec always has a decent software package.

In the mac world, there isn't many utility packages to choose from.

BEWARE: I believe it was OS 8.6 and/or OS9 that would NOT work with systemworks 1.0. Could cause drive corruption.
(You needed systemworks 2.0)
I bought this package and gave it to the end user.
I warned him about only using it as directed on the package.
Well,naturally he used it with the wrong Mac OS and lost some data.
BUT THAT WAS NOT THE SOFTWARE'S FAULT !

A good, all around utility package.

Thumbs up !

#1 System Support

This has Norton AntiVirus, Utilities, CleanSweep, and Web Services for Windows 2000, NT, Me, 98, and 95. [This was the last version for Win95.] The "User's Guide" has 13 chapters in 3 sections to describe the applications. Chapters 8 and 9 only apply to the "Professional Edition". Chapter 1 tells how to install NSW. You must first uninstall any previous version of Norton Utilities, Norton Crashguard, CleanSweep, Norton AntiVirus, or any other antivirus program on your system (p.15). You should create the Emergency disks on a different computer, one that has no problems. You can run the Emergency Disks after booting from the CD.

Chapter 2 introduces the programs and their features. WinDoctor can remove the error that comes from trying to load a now missing program. Disk Doctor checks the integrity of your hard drive. System Doctor monitors and analyzes various parts of your computer. System Information provides detailed information about your computer. File Compare examines the differences between two versions of a file. Norton Diagnostics provides a complete hardware checkup to identify problems quickly. NAV protects and detects harmful viruses. CleanSweep manages programs on your computer (p.35). Chapter 3 tells how to create rescue disks with critical information about your computer; it needs updating to match your configuration. Chapter 4 explains how to respond to Norton System Works alerts. Chapter 5 discusses the use of Norton Utilities to solve computer problems. This is the most important chapter in normal operations.

Chapter 6 explains the types of viruses and how NAV protects against them. It tells how to maintain full-time protection. Norton CleanSweep can clean out unused files (Fast & Safe Cleanup), such as Internet buildup, browser cache, and unused programs (Uninstall Wizard). The Backup Wizard creates a compressed backup file of a program. The Move Wizard moves a program to another drive or folder on the same computer. Chapter 8 explains how to use WinFax Basic; it allows your computer to send and receive facsimile transmissions (with a suitable modem). Norton Ghost creates disk images (Chapter 9). It can clone an entire disk, one or more partitions, and create image files.

Section 3 covers problems and emergency procedures. These apply to Windows 95, 98, and Me. Flow charts describe the operations (Chapter 10). Chapter 11 describes emergency procedures; this is the most detailed chapter. You should read all these pages and take notes. They recommend unerasing files, testing for disk problems, and creating and maintaining a Rescue Disk set. Chapter 12 tells what to do when a virus is found; there are three types of alerts. If an infected file cannot be repaired it can be quarantined or deleted. Troubleshooting the most frequent problems is covered in Chapter 13. [I hope you never have to use Section 3.]

Classic Norton: easy to use and effective.

SystemWorks for Macintosh combines Norton Utilities with Norton Anti-Virus, Aladin Clean Sweep, and Datz Retrospect. The Norton suite installs effortlessly (easier then NAV for PC in my experience), you install Clean Sweep and Retrospect seperately off the same disk. SystemWorks has the familiar Symantec features: control panels (the Norton products can all be accessed through a main panel), and live update. A new to me feature is that when (for example) you run "software update" NAV will detect it and ask you if you want to suspend auto-protect while you're installing software. I happen to like Norton products and have had good luck with them, this product for Mac is no exception. I think Norton SystemWorks is a must have for any Mac home user.

Norton SystemWorks 2001 provides an integrated suite of software applications that cover almost every aspect of keeping your Mac running smoothly, and fixing problems when they arise. The suite consists of four components. Utilities 6.0, one of the best known Mac disk utility packages, offers a full range of disk and file maintenance functions, allowing you to recover badly damaged disks, fix minor disk and file damage, optimize your drive by defragmenting files and applications, and recover accidentally deleted files. If the worst happens, and you find that you can't even start up from your Mac's hard drive, the Norton SystemWorks 2001 CD also works as a start-up disc, giving you a chance to recover files and fix the damaged drive.

Virus protection, in the form of Norton AntiVirus 7.0, is simple and comprehensive. Version 7.0 of the AntiVirus application not only protects you from Macro viruses, which are the most common form of virus on the Mac, but will even scan e-mail attachments as you download them, to warn of potential infection before the file has a chance to infect your computer. It even integrates itself into the main Norton Utilities control screen, so that all your Norton applications are available from a single launch pad. The LiveUpdate feature keeps both the Norton applications and the essential virus definition files up to date by automatically checking for updates when you connect to the Internet, or at prescheduled times.

Backing up your essential files is always advisable, but often difficult to do effectively. Dantz Retrospect Express allows you to automate the process, backing up to removable media, another hard drive, or to an Internet archive with ease. The wide range of configuration options takes some time to configure, but once this is done, backing up becomes a single-click operation. Finally, Aladdin Spring Cleaning allows you to keep your valuable disk space free by deleting unwanted and unused files, duplicate files, temporary Internet browser caches, and even removing unnecessary code from some software applications.

Mac users looking for a total troubleshooting and maintenance package for their computer will find that Norton SystemWorks 2001 provides a solution that is hard to beat. --Daniel Jardine
