A must-to-have-tool for your PC. [Posted on 2004-01-24]
I have been using the GoBack tool for close to 9 months. This tool saves me from a lot of disasters. This tool can bring your whole system back to the conditions of previous time. One of my computers is running with Win98 OS. I installed the Win98SE OS onto it. But the whole system hung after this OS update !! I was able to use GoBack to bring the system back to the time before I installed the Win98 SE OS. So, I virtually uninstalled the Win98 SE OS update at all.
With GoBack, I feel comfortable to install various tools/packages. If something goes wrong, instead of using the "un-install" application, I just use GoBack to move the whole system back to the old time.
This is a tool you must to have.

using now for 3 years [Posted on 2004-06-02]
This is the utility to have. I have installed it on all 3 of my computers because it can be a lifesaver in an emergency. When I accidentally downloaded a virus last month I just used GoBack to set my computer back to a time before the virus. When I want to rid my computer of programs I installed, I use GoBack so that it's if they were never there.

Beware of GoBack on XP!! [Posted on 2004-08-02]
I have been a faithful GoBack customer for years, since it was an Adaptec product, and formerly wouldn't run a computer without it. It worked fine on XP for a while, but recently locked up my system and would not let me on. I thought I had lost everything, and some things like emails are gone forever, it seems. My computer guy was able to get me back up and running, but potential GoBack buyer be warned the near disaster I had is apparently a common problem when running GoBack on XP. GoBack and XP's system restore are in direct conflict. Whatever you do, don't confuse GoBack for a backup substitute.

Why run System Restore AND GoBack? [Posted on 2004-08-16]
Re: the reviewer who ran System Restore AND GoBack ... why would you bother? You don't need System Restore if you're using GoBack, and GoBack turns off System Restore by Default. I've run it before, and had no problems.

On the other hand, 3.0 has been the current version for a LOONG time. I'm wondering if Symantec is even going to bother to continue to update this program.

Worked Great for Me With XP Professional. [Posted on 2005-06-10]
The negative reviews of Goback 4.0 caused me to seek out 3.0, which seems to be more widely admired. A great experience for me. 3.0 works perfectly on my computer with Windows XP Professional. Goback is great insurance to step back from problems on your system.
