Norton Systemworks 3.0 Mac [AntiVirus, Utilities, Backup, Spring Cleaning] review:5 stars (the best) - This is the best antivirus and all-around computer maintainence software that I have ever used. It updates itself automatically, scans everything that goes into my computer and warns me when it finds something dangerous. I use this to keep my Mac safe. You should too.1 stars (Another Norton scam) - Don't waste your money on Systemworks 3. I never got a chance to try most of its features because the first thing you need to do is back up your files before performing the various maintenance tasks. Well, surprise surprise, it turns out the "free" Dantz Retrospect Express that ships with Systemworks 3 is INCOMPATIBLE with the internal cd drive that COMES STANDARD with my eMac (OS X 10.2) despite the claim on the product that Systemworks 3 IS compatible with OS X 10.2. So I called Norton. Not our problem, they said--call Dantz or buy an upgrade from us for $75. So I called Dantz. Not our problem, they said--call Norton or buy the upgrade from us for $50. Well, I wound up contacting Toshiba, the maker of the internal CD drive. Unlike Norton or Dantz, the folks at Toshiba actually cared about my dilemma and were also quite unhappy with the bait-and-switch scam that Norton and Dantz pulled on a lot of folks who purchased Systemworks 3

So the moral of the story is stay away from Norton and Dantz--much better products made by far more ethical companies are available. Not surprisingly, both companies used to make really excellent products, but now that the quality has gone south, they have to rely on dirty tricks to continue selling their second-rate products.4 stars (Pretty good at recovering deleted files) - I bought this to help me recover an accidently deleted directory. It found all the files, but lost all the names associated with them. It was a bit of a pain, but I'm really glad I got the files back. I tried DiskWarrior thinking it did the same thing, but it cannot recover deleted files. It's only good when your machine has a bad crash. Norton worked, DiskWarrior did not.

I use the virus software and that seems to work fine, no conflict issues with other programs. I also got the bundled FireWall version and that's kinda interesting, but a bit overkill for a Mac. All in all, worth buying, saved my butt!

FYI: I am running this on a PowerBook G4 with Panther 10.3.5 installed. Good luck!
