1.0 out of 5 stars Memory hog, Tricky renew tactic, February 21, 2007

By	Back In Time - See all my reviews

I had Norton products since the late 1990's and they've always been good. My trouble started from 2006 on. These newer Norton's are memory hogs and will steal your resources. True, the other years would also use a lot of computer memory, but not like present. If you want a sloooowwwwww computer, or you have 3GB in memory, maybe this is for you.

Also, last year when I purchased Systemworks online, Symantec (Norton) had some clause that charged my credit card 1 year later for the new Systemworks. There was nothing I saw when ordering stating they would do this, but they did. After looking up Symantec online for their phone number, being transferred, and waiting on hold forever, I finally got someone to reverse the charge. Pretty sneaky Symantec, pretty sneaky. I wonder how many people just get charged and don't know or say anything? Just this fact alone, puts me off from the years I used them, I cannot recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rotten Installation and Customer Support - have yet to see if program works (XP user), April 29, 2007

By	Joanna Paradiso "msgranger" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After hours upon hours of hair-tearing, teeth-gritting frustration with downloading and re-downloading, uninstalling and reinstalling, WORTHLESS online Norton-provided help tips, failed registrations and 30-minute customer service wait times, transfers and disconnects, only to speak with people who have thick, hard-to-understand accents, I've finally installed and activated NORTON System Works Basic 2007 and Internet Security 2007. Time will tell if these programs actually work and don't end up screwing up all my other programs. I STILL need technical support help with installing Partition Magic - the stupid zip file that they give you to download contains a bunch of files, NONE of which will open for a reason I'll have to wait through another hair-raising 30 minutes of canned music, "thanks for your patience" b.s., transfers and disconnects to find out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this product, January 31, 2007

By	David N. Parker "pflagtnet" (Colfax, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used Norton products for more than 20 years. I have never been so frustrated with software!
First, I purchased the Norton Internet Security / Norton Systemworks download. Systemworks would not work properly. I went through all the suggested steps advised by Symantec. No improvement.
I returned the downloaded software and purchased the DVD bundle of the same products. Installation went smoothly, but Systemworks would not work. Again, ran Symantec's removal tool (as recommended by Support) and reinstall everything.
Systemworks Basic 10.0 still refuses to work. I trashed it and replaced it with my old Systemworks 2005 - which works fine.
