Nobody wants to expect the worst, but in today's digital world, you must keep your computer and your digital files protected at all times. Recipient of the PC World's 'Best Buy' award (June 2005), Norton Systemworks 2006 offers some of the industry's most comprehensive solutions that are designed not only to keep viruses and hackers from reaching your files, but that will also keep your computer running smoothly and efficiently.

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.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Forced to give it a star
Steer clear of Norton/Symatec products. My HP came with Norton SystemWorks 2006 trial version and I thought it wss fine. Assumed the installation of the product would be quick and painless. Don't remember all that went wrong, but one thing is that I was told by customer support after the fact that I should have uninstalled the trial version before installing the version I had purchased. It took forever to install even when there weren't problems. After suffering with a computer that had slowed ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good anitvirus software
Systemworks traditionally has done everything with satisfaction for me. But I recently tried trend micros pc-cillin 2007 internet security and I thought that was edge above all the other software out there I've tried. I catches just about everything.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - System WORTHLESS is more like it
I can't even comment on the actual System Works application because I never got it to run - it ruined my system right after install! Once I installed it, it asked for a reboot, then came back wtih "Load Error! Press a key to reboot..." which just lead to the error message again, and again, and again.

A chat with tech support (after an hour wait) revealed that there are problems with the GoBack files, so I had to create a bootable CD, and do all kind of things which I haven't been able ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - It is not what it used to be
After over a year and a half including renewing for updates I've now discarded Norton SW 2006. it was problamatic and a waste of money. It conflicts with Partition magic another Symantec product and will not work with many MS updates. My system is now operating trouble free since I've uninstalled NSW. Previously my computer was eratic and crashed frquently.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good and Bulky
I've been using Norton products for over 10 years.
Each year they get more complex and more bulky.
However, once the product is configured properly
it tends to run well, detects intrusions and can
improve the health of just about any Windows based system.
The online update process seems to work well.
However if you change your hardware system configuration
you may have to re-activate the product.

The default (out-of-box) settings ALWAYS needs tweaking. ... Read More
