Norton SystemWorks 2005 Premier - Single User [AntiVirus, Utilities, GoBack, Ghost, CheckIT] review:
5 stars (No problems with the install or the registration/activation) - Today,I upgraded from Systemworks 2003 Professional Edition to the Systemworks 2005 Premier on a PC with Windows XP Home Edition. It took approximately 30 minutes to load and register and everything went smoothly. Before starting, I read every review written here at Amazon so I'm well aware that my experience is not typical. I am offering the following suggestions in hopes that it may help someone who still has not been able to get it loaded or is about to try loading it for the first time.



1. First, to install this product on a XP machine, Norton says your processor should be a minimum of 300mhz (they neglect to tell you this on the outside of the box when they list the Minimum Systen Requirements)



2. Your Internet Explorer should be updated to version 6



3. If you have an earlier version of Systemworks (from 2003 and up) on your PC, don't uninstall it - if your version is earlier than 2003, you Must uninstall it before loading the new one.



4. Close all other Window programs - including those running in the System Tray.



5. Put in the Norton CD and click on 'Install Norton SystemWorks' when the first panel comes up.



6. You'll be asked to accept the License Agreement' and then to enter your Product Key (it's long - 24 characters - and it appears on the back of your CD sleeve).



7. You're advised next to do a virus scan - so just click the 'Start Scan'



8. It then asks you to select an Installation Type - the most trouble free choice here is the default - 'Install Now'.



9. Next, the software picks a folder where it wants to install the program...but, it gives you the ability to click 'Browse' and change to another folder location. Again, the most trouble free choice here is the default.



10.It will then suggest that you Restart windows....then you are Done with the install (you still must register and activate).



11. At this point, after the Windows restart, I did get a couple of error messages about a missing DLL and a missing program. I didn't write down the names, so I can't say what they were - but I just ignored the messages and restarted my computer and they went away. I know there are people who will say 'AHA!' when they read that....but, if you've loaded much software, you soon realize that it's not unusual to run into 'weird' messages as you follow the steps in an installation - most of the time these messages go away when you try again....unfortunately, software is rarely perfect.



12.After the reboot, a panel comes up that lets you into the registration (just pick the state you live in) and then it leads you to the activation panel (your product code is already typed in for you) and then you click Close and you're done...takes about a minute.



A lot of this can be found in the 'User's Guide'...I'm just condensing it for those who don't read guides, don't have time to read the guide or don't even have the guide to begin with. There are other good programs out there (ZoneLabs just came out with ZoneAlarm 6 and is getting great reviews). I've always had good luck with Norton and, in my opinion, I don't think there is anyone who can match the virus protection part of their software. I hope this helps someone.


4 stars (no problems installing, software is working fine) -

I bought this software NIB on ebay before reading the Amazon reviews. PC World gave it a high rating which was unusual for them, they usually dislike Norton products, so I decided to upgrade from my 2002 Systemworks. After reading about the problems others were having I almost decided to resell the software, but I finally decided to install it and see.



I am running Windows ME with 512mb RAM on a 4 year old Dell PC. I am an experienced computer user but not an expert, which means I have installed the basic video cards, sound cards, modems, etc. and the usual software utilities and games, but anything requiring in depth editing or special tweaking is out of my league.



First, I ran a backup to my external hard drive before changing anything, (just in case). Then I completely uninstalled the 2002 Systemworks. Cleansweep gave a lot of problems, but I finally got it uninstalled. Then I shut down all of my running programs (Ctrl + Alt + Delete)and left Explorer and Systray running. After that I popped in the CD and everything ran smoothly. I didn't have any problems installing, I had to restart several times to download updates and virus definitions, but that was normal and I didn't have any error messages.



I have been using the software for a couple of weeks now, and I like some of the new features, and the Antivirus is working great. I did find that the 2005 Systemworks does eat up your system resources, about 10% more or less, depending on what programs you have running. I disabled the GoBack, I didn't need it and it took up RAM that I could use elsewhere. I like the Connection Keep Alive, I have dial-up so this program is helpful at times when I am having a really bad connection. One Button Checkup is great, it found errors and fixed them easily. Some of the other programs I have not used yet, so I will have to wait to review them.



Overall, I am glad I installed the 2005 Systemworks. I am giving it 4 stars because of the amount of system resources it uses. If I had to recommend it to a friend I would, but I would also tell them to read these reviews before buying it. I don't know if I just got lucky, or if I did something others did not, but I thought I should at least write a review and let people know that at least one person did not have any problems installing or using this software. But after reading some of the other reviews, I think I may be the rare exception.








4 stars (Runs off the CD.) - I've actually got 2003 pro,and 2001 Utilities,System Works is

an essential toolkit for Windows health.I am reluctant to install

it,as a PC tech I see a lot of problems & conflicts with Nortons

and it has a reputation of being difficult to remove.This is

not necessarily true,if the uninstall tool available @ Symantec

is used.However I run Works off the CD,with great results.Disk

Dr & Windows Dr are great tools,and have fixed 100% of the sick

systems they were utilised on.
