From Protection to Detection Included with Systemworks 2006 are five leading utilities that are designed to help you protect your computer and get the most out of its computing power: Norton AntiVirus, Norton Utilities, Norton GoBack, CheckIt Diagnostics, and System Optimizer.
Norton AntiVirus automatically removes viruses, Trojan horses, and worms from your hard drive and files, and checks incoming and outgoing email attachments for viruses. It is estimated that every five minutes, a new worm or security threat is created. AntiVirus automatically downloads updates to keep these threats away from your data. Among the threats it detects and removes are dangerous spyware, keystroke loggers, and other unwanted monitoring software. And when you install AntiVirus, it automatically disinfects your system, so you start off with a clean, virus-free computer.
Norton Utilities is a suite of utilities, which run continuously in the background, that can help you recover from crashes, repair your system, and fix errors on your hard disk. It also lets you compare different file versions and recover deleted files, and it helps to optimize the performance of your hard drive.
Norton GoBack allows you to easily undo problems with your PC. You can restore your PC to a healthy state by going back minutes, hours, or even days (depending on available disk space that you have). You can also GoBack to restore files that have been deleted or modified, and to try new software safely. CheckIt Diagnostics, which is also included in the suite, offers one of the quickest and most thorough evaluations of a PC's hardware, and System Optimizer gathers all your Windows configuration controls in a single program.
In short, this suite of integrated security solutions will protect your PC from viruses, optimize its performance, and safeguard your information through backup and data recovery. And with a LiveUpdate function that automatically downloads updates directly to your computer, Systemworks 2006 is the most comprehensive way you can keep your PC and your valuable data protected.

By stewart L (flushing ,ny) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Systemworks 2006 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I spent three hours helping a friend uninstall norton systemworks..He thought he could install this over norton nis2006 !!Wrong!! these programs arent compatible with each other..Both have versions of noton anti-virus 2006.!!! you cant run both...They fought each other until he got a grey screen.Nothing worked!!! I had to perform a clean windows install,and installed norton 2005 antivirus and the 2005 norton firewall...Now all is well...? we have to wait 15 days to see if the registration fails...You install at your own risk...Upgrading is not always better...You be the judge of this.

This review is from: Norton Systemworks 2006 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I installed Norton Systemworks 2006 on two systems. Both failed and I cannot get it work on either. Avoid it. 2004 and 2005 were more stable.
1 of them, for some reason deleted the hard disk partition. I lost everything in two partitions (images, music). Still in middle of having someone recover what they can. Other one installed and then everytime the computer restarts, it opens Norton Systemworks at startup and locks up. Could do nothing but to uninstall to avoid the annoying lock up screen.

Four Stars For the Product Plus a Fifth Star For Fellow Reviewers With Great Installation Advice,
By
This review is from: Norton Systemworks 2006 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
When I first read some of the poor reviews of this product, I was originally hesitant to purchase it, but then I saw some of the advice from those who had better success with it and I have to agree with those who were patient during installation. This is a wonderful product if you install it slowly and carefully. The first thing I did was uninstall every one one my Norton/Symantec product components step by step. This included Systemworks 2005, Live Reg, Norton WMI, Live Update, and Password Manager. Most of these components will require a restart after each step. Once I cleaned out all of my old Norton programs I rechecked the add/remove programs window in my control panel to make sure they were all gone.
I then went ahead and placed the Systemworks 2006 installation disk. Although it is a good idea to defragment your hard drive before doing so, I was successful in installing the program without this step. Once it gave me the choice for express installation or custom install, I chose custom and unchecked Go Back. If you have important files you are afraid of losing, you may want to do express installation and retain Go back, although this program will need up to an additional 10% of your hard drive space to back up files. Once everything was installed I activated the product after the computer restarted. It will then run you through a live update (which may take a while) and then ask you to restart once this is done. After the restart, run Live Update again and it will continue to update more virus definitions. I then installed Check It Diagnostics (a handy program on the disk) and reinstalled Password Manager. You can find Password Manager 2004 on this disk by browsing the disk and clicking on NPM. Once you open this up, click on npmsetup.exe to install. Once you install this, it will restart one more time and prompt you to do a live update again. Once everything is installed, then do a full virus scan and you're set. It's not a bad idea to run a disk check for errors and then defragment the volume afterwards. By following these simple instructions the entire process went flawlessly. Keep in mind I am NOT an expert and my computer is an old dinosaur. It only has a 500 MHZ processor. In spite of this the programs run wonderfully. One of the biggest advantages over last year's model is my email scanning seems to be faster and there are a few added goodies, including XP System Optimizer and Norton Protection Center. Please give this program a chance, but take your time in uninstalling the old components and installing the new ones between restarts. Failure to remove the old programs is the number 1 reason for installation difficulties with Systemworks 2006. Enjoy. -Michael Ditkowsky
