Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Simple, if long, set-up
I bought this to replace a 2006 version of SystemWorks, which was a cheaper approach than renewing the license. The set-up took a little while (maybe 20 minutes) and required a few restarts, but really nothing I wasn't expecting.
One thing I want to stress is that I did NOT have to remove the old version. I have no idea why this wasn't required for me, as so many other people seemed to have to do an uninstall first.
The separate install for the Virus Protection was a little strange ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - the worst ever
I did read several of the reviews about this Norton product, BUT I have used Norton since the beginning with no problems. WELL... I am computer literate. I struggled with this ridiculous piece of junk for an hour. I had to go the the web site to get the total uninstall program and then go step by step, reboot by reboot. and then it still does not work right. Can you imagine such a piece of junk bearing your name on it and you call yourself a professional product? PLEASE do NOT BUY this edition. EVER. ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Worse than Bad, Actually
There are so many things wrong with Norton System Works that it's very
difficult to know where to begin. But here are three:

1) ACTIVATION: The most annoying. Companies resort to this because
otherwise people would be handing disks out to all their friends and
family. Norton's is particularly aggravating and chances are you'll end up talking to someone at Symantec. If you get the product, install it and don't think about upgrading your computer.

2) INSTABILITY: ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great product - Can be a hassle to install
2nd version I have used of this product. I like it and it works well. Can be a pain to install. I had to call customer service and they took control of my computer. Took them over an hour to install. Very efficient and friendly customer service.




Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Symantec a loser in my book
For anyone considering buying the Symantec Norton SystemWorks product, I would advise them to consider these failures of the product and support.

In Feb. 2008, I contacted Symantec by chat because my Norton SystemWorks subscription had expired and a "subscription expired" alert was displaying every 30 seconds. When I chose Renew inside the product, as documented, the Live Update dialog was displayed instead of the Renewal Center panel. I waited for the chat through the 67 customers who were ahead ...
