NSW2004 - Will destroy your system [Posted on 2004-08-29]
I upgraded from NSW2003 to 2004 because the av subscription
ran out. What a mistake. Will never purchase another
symantec product again, ever. I'm moving to mcAffee
when this subscription runs out.

First of all, speed disk 2004 goes to infinite cpu.
You typically can't shut down. Either way, your
system will no longer boot. You're dead. You'd better
have an emergency backup restore in place, ready and able.

Speaking of emergency restore -- the ghost that comes
with 2004 is the same 2003 version. Regardless, ghost
restore only works if you restore to the same drive and
partition from whence the image was backed up from.

Furthermore, the documentation leads you to believe that
you can upgrade from 2003 to 2004 in place. Don't believe it.
You have to fully uninstall 2003 and then, after many
reboots and manual clean outs in betwee, only then can
you install 2004;

Don't buy this, or you will be sorry. And, you'd better
have a backup of your system in place to restore on
emergency, because speed disk 2004 WILL CORRUPT YOUR
SYSTEM AND YOU WILL NOT BOOT!!!! Send it back.

Boom to Bust in 3 Versions or Less! [Posted on 2004-09-08]
In years past, I would never run a Mac or PC system without Norton Utilities or SystemWorks. Things started looking bad with NSW 2002 and 2003... Very little improvement, higher prices. With NSW 2004, Symantec has effectively killed any reason for anyone to use this now-useless software. If you want hard drive imaging, buy Ghost standalone. If you want anti-virus protection, buy Norton AV standalone. Stay away from NSW. Even if you can manage to get the product activated (I couldn't), it will bog down your system with tons of memory-resident and background applications.

Worst of all !!.. Could not use since activation .. [Posted on 2004-09-09]
This is worst release I think. Once I activated ( which was a painful process because Key was Invalid ) I was never able to use this once.

I Cannot believe they came with such a poor activation method which is painful and will never work and In fact, I changed my outlook setting... got a clue ??..

I do not recommend Norton Systemworks Pro 2004 at all. Stick with 2003 or better get Zonealarm with antivirus or Trenmicro.

Keep away..

Keeps Windows Working [Posted on 2004-09-12]
Norton Systemworks has a lot of upgraded features than the previous version I had (2002). It has a password manager that autofills passwords you want saved. It also repairs windows problems that occur when installing new software or moving files around. This is a great buy if you want to keep your system running good for a long time.

A huge drain on your system [Posted on 2007-01-05]
Want a quick way to reduce your machines performance? Norton Systemworks 2004 is the software for you. Quick makes basic tasks a real pain to perform and causes no end of trouble while playing games. I dropped the software after a year of being subjected to their feeble software and then being asked to spend more money to keep my machine safe. I switched to AVG which is free and allows my machine to actually run properly.
