Norton System works is a great way to bring your system old or new back to a good condition. It optimises performance, fixes and prevents problems, cleans out internet clutter, and recovers from system failure.
There are some programs you buy to do a specific job in your daily work. There are some you buy to have fun. There are some you buy to make your PC work better. And there are some that might just save your rear end some day. The Norton Utilities definitely fall into the latter two categories; they've been around for donkey's years (or so it would seem), and in more recent times have also been offered as part of Norton System Works. Symantec has been good about updating System Works for newer versions of Windows, and System Works 2002 is their release for Windows XP, though the same package works with Windows 98, Windows Me or with Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 (though not with server versions).
The most famous component of System Works is The Norton Utilities, which have evolved over the years and now include some very useful capabilities for taking care of a Windows system. One of the old favourites is Norton Disk Doctor, which has a lot of tricks up its sleeve for hunting down errors on your drives, both fixed and removable, generally doing a more thorough job than Windows' own ScanDisk. Speed Disk rearranges files on your hard disks to speed up loading and access, and does so with greater flexibility than Microsoft's Disk Defragmenter. The Norton Protected Recycle Bin and Unerase Wizard help protect files that might accidentally be deleted; on the other hand, if you really, truly want to get rid of certain files, Wipe Info will erase all traces of them from the disk (though the Windows 2000/XP version won't wipe unused areas of your drive).
One of my newer favourites in Norton Utilities is WinDoctor; this does an amazing job of fixing many types of registry errors as well as bad shortcuts and missing system files, and will often restore a balky PC to the peak of health. There are also the System Information utility (though it no longer does processor benchmarks), and on Windows 98 and Me systems several other old power-user favourites, including the Disk Editor and System Diagnostics, are still available as well as a DOS mode version of Disk Doctor.
You can keep your version updated by downloading updates from http://www.symantec.com. This site also provides support and will tell you a little more about the product. I am not quite sure on the specifications required but they are not great as this programme can be run on old PC’s as I have mine on an AMD K6-2 PC from 1998.
You could say it is a bit pricey at £69.95 but its worth it in the long run.
I would recommend Norton System Works and would say its something I’d install before installing anything else. So go on and bring your PC back to peak health and get Norton System works today.

Have used Systemworks myself - you summed it up perfectly. Well done. Adam

A very useful comment. I have also found Norton System work to be of great use. It does the job and gets any PC problems sorted out at the click of a few buttons. Thanks. Mike

I've given you a "VH" but how much was it - you say it was pricey? Leigh :)
