1.0 out of 5 stars Norton Utilities sucks, January 11, 2005
This review is from: Norton Utilities 8.0 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
Do not buy this program. I bought this program for my boyfriend for christmas. Its not good at defragging (he had to do it twice in 2 weeks so far), and the disc utility can be harmful or even fatal to a mac computer. When we found this out it was removed right away. Also Norton is discontinuing the product and concentrating on making virus protection. Why is this being discontinued if its supposedly a good product? i promise if you get this program you will regret it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Symantec itself has discontinued this program., September 24, 2004

Symantec (the makers of Norton Utilities) has discontinued this program so there will be no future development. Stay away from this faulty program and buy something better, such as Disk Warrior or Tech Tools.

1.0 out of 5 stars Problems, August 2, 2004

This review is from: Norton Utilities 8.0 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
I ran this software and it crashed my hard drive and deleted half of the data on my computer! It was a nightmare. All Mac users are now recommending Disk Warrier due to having the exact same problem as I did with Norton Utilities. Avoid!
