1.0 out of 5 stars CRASH TIME and NO REMOTE ACCESS, December 9, 2009

If you are using Windows 7, this product WILL make your computer crash and require a FULL system recovery if you use the "Defrag Your Registry" feature.
I build, repair and maintain computers for quite a few clients. I have always recommended Norton Utilities. I know the product inside out. Trust me, you will REGRET using this product with Windows 7. Your computer WILL crash. Furthermore, Norton customer support is in TOTAL denial about this issue. Do NOT use it. Your computer WILL crash.
ANOTHER problem is: Even though there is no firewall in this product, the moment you install it, you will no longer be able to use the "Remote Assistance" feature in the maintainance folder of your Windows 7 Comp,. You will also not be able to use remote assistance that comes with Windows Live Messenger. Norton denies it, but I have done countless tests with countless users. When it is uninstalled, I can use remote assistance. When I reinstall it, you can NOT. What a pathetic product.
Norton should be ashamed of themselves to send this product to market.

I also got the blue screen of death on my desk top on windows 7 after trying to suppress my registry. I had to restore the system from my Recovery Disk. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR WINDOWS 7

1.0 out of 5 stars My $1400 brand new laptop got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH after using this product, November 20, 2009

My brand new laptop got the BSOD after installing and using this product. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use registry repair/clean-up/fix,etc type software.
Norton utilities ruined my once perfect laptop and symantec provided ZERO help over the situation. I was on the phone with them for over an hour, and finally the guy says "We're really not qualified to help with these types of problems" - !!!!!!!

Reviews done at PC Magazine (professional reviewers) have shown that this product provides no benefit to your PC, and may in fact actually SLOW your computer down slightly.

It's a waste of money and a gimmick product aimed at nothing but trying to make money. It provides no real benefit to your computer system and may potentially harm your computing environment.
