Norton SystemWorks 2007 Premier Edition
No wonder I couldn’t find the ‘07 VISTA version at Sam’s Club… or Walmart… or Best Buy! This appears to be bogus. Too bad, I have had Norton as my primary protection for 15 years. Guess they were bought by a company from China that substituted lead for silicone in their workstations.

NSW 2007 (or 2006) premiere is useless when it comes to VISTA…and considering it comes pre-packaged with EVERY PC known to man (desktop or laptop) this is unforgiveable.
Norton AV has an update but that is a far cry from the ~$100 price of SystemWorks that MUST be uninstalled according to MS VISTA.
MAYBE with the 2008 version
Truth be known, System works has saved my aZZ a number of time since the 2003 version but now it is useless!

Tough to upgrade if you have an earlier version on your machine. Also, poor layout of controls make clicking on wrong button really easy. They still have not gotten it right.

I have used Norton for years. Recent purchases of Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works will likely change that. First I bought Internet Security for one computer at a great price because I needed a renewal. Mistake. While my machine is a little out of date I went from a 3-4 minute start-up to over 10 minutes. There is also an annoying feature, which cannot be turned off where it keeps trying to load Ghost.
So for my other computer I buy System Works. Well it wants you to remove Zone Alarm. I chose not to. Figured it was an anti-competitive thing. I was right. When you leave Zone Alarm installed and a Zone Alarm waring comes up, if you are not there to click accept, in a few minutes it shuts the computer down. “Nice piece” of intentional anti-competitive programming. This first reared its’ head during install. Tooking me a while to figure it out so I sat next to the maching all during install so there would be no shutdown. Has happened a few times since. So the “incapability” is clearly intentional.
It is a shame for such an industry leader to engage in such actions…..oh I forgot about Microsoft. Oh, didn’t Symantec sue Microsoft for doing such things to them?

We have complained to our State’s Consumer Protection Division about the Norton product.
Two weeks ago, we requested that they look into the product and Norton’s approach in persuading its customers to renew their product promptly on an annual basis.
Year after year, we go through this motion–rush to purchase the online version or the new CD from our nearest office supplier.
For at least four years, we have used the Norton anti-virus protection.
Since then, we have noticed a pattern of serious computer crashes within a few days of the annual product expiration or renewal date.
The cost of repair each time runs us about $150.00. So year after year, we rush to purchase to by the new product update.
Until this year, we have wondered about the pattern of annual crashes, but concluded that our observation of the correlation of serious/expensive computer crash was not random, but predictable.
How did we draw our conclusion?
We own four computers, all of which are protected with the Norton software, but all computers do not share the same product copy.
We predicted on September 10, 2007 that our newest laptop computer would have a very serious Crash within a few days of the expiration date of the Norton Product. On September 18, 2007, about two or three days after receiving the expiration date notice it crashed.
This particular computer is still down. We just can’t afford to keep on paying for repairs after undertaking the high cost of repairing another, and another.
Now bear in mind that, the one newest computer–disabled by Norton–is not frequently used.
In 2006, we were forced to replace one laptop, with a new one, due to our Norton experience.
We wondered then about the pattern of crashes, but simply dismissed it.
Well this year, we have decided to seek help, from our State’s Consumer Protection Division in the Office of the Attorney General.
We have asked them to look into our long and persistent computer problem and its correlation based on the use of the Norton software and its expiration date.
Is the Norton problem observed, more widespread?
