View larger. | From Protection to Detection Included with Systemworks 2006 Premier are five leading utilities that are designed to help you protect your computer and get the most out of its computing power: Norton AntiVirus, Norton Utilities, Norton GoBack, CheckIt Diagnostics, and System Optimizer. Norton AntiVirus automatically removes viruses, Trojan horses, and worms from your hard drive and files, and checks incoming and outgoing email attachments for viruses. It is estimated that every five minutes, a new worm or security threat is created. AntiVirus automatically downloads updates to keep these threats away from your data. Among the threats it detects and removes are dangerous spyware, keystroke loggers, and other unwanted monitoring software. And when you install AntiVirus, it automatically disinfects your system, so you start off with a clean, virus-free computer. Norton Utilities is a suite of utilities, which run continuously in the background, that can help you recover from crashes, repair your system, and fix errors on your hard disk. It also lets you compare different file versions and recover deleted files, and it helps to optimize the performance of your hard drive. Norton GoBack allows you to easily undo problems with your PC. You can restore your PC to a healthy state by going back minutes, hours, or even days (depending on available disk space that you have). You can also GoBack to restore files that have been deleted or modified, and to try new software safely. CheckIt Diagnostics, which is also included in the suite, offers one of the quickest and most thorough evaluations of a PC's hardware, and System Optimizer gathers all your Windows configuration controls in a single program. Systemworks 2006 Premier also keeps your computer clean of any data that outsiders could use to monitor your Internet activity or buying habits by cleaning up unwanted cookies. And by removing cache and temporary files automatically, and defragmenting your hard drive, your computer's performance will be optimized. The software even has a feature that compares the performance of your computer with similar computers. In short, this premier suite of integrated security solutions will protect your PC from viruses, optimize its performance, and safeguard your information through backup and data recovery. And with a LiveUpdate function that automatically downloads updates directly to your computer, Systemworks 2006 Premier is the most comprehensive way you can keep your PC and your valuable data protected.

Good protection February 2, 2010 M. Jolley (Payson, UT) Knock on wood--I have always been protected in the 3 years I have used this, along with the annual subscription for updates.
Complete retraction of my last review January 27, 2006 James Hinkson (El Sobrante, CA United States) 4 out of 9 found this review helpful
I don't know how to remove the stars.
This may be a fine product if the "bug" is removed. At this point, I suggest that all interested PC users (not Macs because I know nothing about them) avoid installing this software.
I will say that all versions of Norton anti-virus programs I have used over many years have worked very well for me. The 2006 version is the best yet. I also used Systemworks about five years ago. It worked. My reasons for using it are not interesting.
The problem with Systemworks 2006 is something called rootkit. This security "enhancement" recently caused an outrage among Sony Music CD buyers. Sony recalled all of them.
Symantec has made the problem public and is committed to solving the problem. I believe that Symantec will solve the problem very quickly and make amends. Currently, there are fixes available from Symantec that do not involve computer or hard disk replacement. I am in the middle of attempting to get "My Computer" back again. This is a very complex procedure for all but computer experts. I am not a computer expert. I just have too much time on my hands because I'm a retired engineer who tinkers with computers far too much.
Those who are interested in trying to use this software in its current form may be in for a very unpleasant surprise.
Symantec put this enhancement in their software to make it even tougher for spyware and the like to infest our computers. This one really backfired. The "expert" reviewers were blindsided and gave the product rave early reviews. That makes me wonder if any of them actually install and use the software they write about. The problem is in the PC high tech news these days. Just search for rootkit or Symantec Systemworks 2006. You'll find out more than you ever wanted to know about this stuff.

Best Ever Release of Norton Utilities January 27, 2006 Santeria (Tallahassee) 3 out of 10 found this review helpful
It seems that most of the criticism of this product comes from people with no technical knowledge, and probably no computer skills.Not that technical skill is required, just read the manual, or the online help... it actually is helpful.
Thus far, after more than a month of intensive use, i can safely say that this is a superb item. You will have to teach the system certain things, like the spam filter ( works great once tweaked right). And GHOST is not the problem as depicted with other reviews: in fact, This edition of Ghost is the most advanced, and most backwardly compatible version of ghost ever.
I have just had a series of problems caused by Maxtor's DDO ( dynamic Disk Overlay) option, and a problem caused by Partition Magic, and Norton Utilities was instrumental in allowing me to fix these issues.
The regular staples for Norton, such as Anti-virus, and the general fix-it options are better than ever, and cover all aspects of the utilites in the PRO versions.
The issue seems to be, when considering this product, is wether or not you need to have the power this product provides.If you are essentially a basic to medium user, then do not get this. You may benefit from this, however, if you are a basic to medium level user, but make sure you have a backup external drive, tape or disc(of whatever nature).
That being said, the power users will gain the most out of this, but if a basic to medium user, you will still gain a great benefit, so long as you read the documentation, and take care with all issues.
NOTE, FEB 6, 2006: I have been using this software pretty intensively, and extensively, and so far it has paid off. The two principle discs in this set, together with the XP-PRO install disc in repair mode, can help in advanced use, when the MBR, and Bootcfg, etc., files get shot to hell. And especially when the audio and video drivers run rampant and conflict with system files. This set continues to pay off in my opinion.
Norton's the bomb! March 22, 2006 Steve A. Jones (Hotchkiss, CO) 2 out of 10 found this review helpful
Norton has always had premium products. I have been using them for several years and have never had a problem. This version has been updated and pretty much manages itself. It includes Norton Ghost, which has saved me a couple of times from having to completely rebuild my computer due to a bad software install.
