Don't bother if you're running Panther with large files [Posted on 2004-04-15]
Spent $100 elsewhere on this. I've used Norton in the past but had switched to TechTool. I decided to try them again. I was sadly mistaken.

First, I ran Disk Doctor. Got error 23005, which the support said to run Volume Recover. Nothing found there. Got the same error from Disk Doctor. Tried Disk DeFrag and it said that the directories were too large for "this version" of SystemWorks to defrag.

Useless. I'll be returning it and using TechTool again.

Stay away if you are running Tiger! [Posted on 2005-06-29]
This program is not compatible with OS 10.4, and Norton has no plans to upgrade SystemWorks or Utilities to be compatible with OS 10.4...

STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING FROM SYMANTEC!!!! [Posted on 2005-10-15]
NORTON UTILITIES WILL SCRAMBLE YOUR HARD DRIVE IRREPARABLY!

I purchased the latest version of Norton Utilities from the Symantec Website shortly after upgrading to the new Tiger system from Apple. Ran Norton Utilities, no errors, ran speed disk, scrambled directory. Had to erase hard drive.

I am an expert Mac user and have been so since 1984. I have never had a system crash or any loss of data - ever. Symantec, you suck! You freely send software to loyal users accept $ in return with no prior upfront warning about known problems. I will never purchase software from you again, and will tell everyone in my sphere of influence to stay away from your company. If you own stock... SELL, SELL, SELL!

Norton Upgrades to Mac OS 10.4 [Posted on 2006-03-30]
On the Symantec and Apple software web sites, Norton recently upgraded their Anti-Virus and Firewall programs to be compatible with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger). I just found this out (3/29/06) as I'm about to upgrade to a new Mac Mini (with Tiger), so I want to be able to upgrade my Norton to work with it!

Search Apple Software (or other retailers) for "Symantec Norton AntiVirus 10.0 and Personal Firewall 3.1 for Macintosh" -- the bundle price is around $90. I can't seem to find a better deal, since I don't know if Norton's Utilities are upgrading to 10.4. Good Luck!

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT [Posted on 2006-09-03]
SHAME on Symantec for even continuing to have this product on the market. I had the same experience as the other "1 Star" reviewers with Mac OS X. Error message 23005... crashed hard drive...I used to totally rely on Norton Utilities. But they have not really upgraded this product for Mac since 2003 and it is a disaster. Peter Norton should be ashamed that this is still on the market with his name on it. Used to be great... buy Tech Tool... do NOT waste your time and money on this.
