Norton SystemWorks 2008 Standard Edition 11.0 Reviews
but, again, no issues with the process. I bought this to replace a 2006 version of SystemWorks, which was a cheaper approach than renewing the license. The set-up took a little while (maybe 20 minutes) and required a few restarts, but really nothing I wasn't expecting. No performance hit or anything like that. All in all, it seems good.
It's running now and seems fine. I have no idea why this wasn't required for me, as so many other people seemed to have to do an uninstall first. The separate install for the Virus Protection was a little strange (why wouldn't I want it installed). One thing I want to stress is that I did NOT have to remove the old version.
and then it still does not work right. Can you imagine such a piece of junk bearing your name on it and you call yourself a professional product. I am computer literate. I had to go the the web site to get the total uninstall program and then go step by step, reboot by reboot. I did read several of the reviews about this Norton product, BUT I have used Norton since the beginning with no problems. Bill I struggled with this ridiculous piece of junk for an hour.
EVER. wait and maybe Norton will get back to releasing quality software that performs. WELL. Thanks for taking the time to read this. PLEASE do NOT BUY this edition.
otherwise people would be handing disks out to all their friends and. 1) ACTIVATION: The most annoying. My System Works didn't even recognize my Symantec anti-virus, and it's made by the same company. Instead of buying a suite, get a defragger, get a registry cleaner, and get them without the pesky activation.
difficult to know where to begin. Removing it requires a number of reboots and manual deletion of files and folders. You'll also have to go into the registry and remove the sloppy leftovers. If you MUST have a suite, System Mechanic is probably the best. family. 2) INSTABILITY: Decide you don't like it. There are so many things wrong with Norton System Works that it's very.
3) RESOURCES: Taxes your system's resources. But here are three:. If you get the product, install it and don't think about upgrading your computer. These things are designed by committee. Yuck. Imagine that. Norton's is particularly aggravating and chances are you'll end up talking to someone at Symantec.
Companies resort to this because.
Very efficient and friendly customer service. Can be a pain to install. 2nd version I have used of this product. I had to call customer service and they took control of my computer. Took them over an hour to install. I like it and it works well.
When I chose Renew inside the product, as documented, the Live Update dialog was displayed instead of the Renewal Center panel. In Feb. 2008, I contacted Symantec by chat because my Norton SystemWorks subscription had expired and a "subscription expired" alert was displaying every 30 seconds. Although e-mail response is committed to 96 hours, I have received no response 36 days after the original incident date.
From reading tech tips on the site, I determined that when I renewed, the system date was 5/9/2008. I waited for the chat through the 67 customers who were ahead of me. The product continued to display the subscription expired alert. I corrected the system date, and the alert messages stopped.
But I still had this problem: How do I reset the Subscription Service date inside SystemWorks to the correct date (2/13/2009) so that it does not expire in May and I have to try to contact tech support again. The technician was still in the process of trying to stop the alert messages when the chat connection was lost and the chat terminated. After several days had passed with no response, I confirmed that no Symantec mail had been blocked as spam, then resubmitted the question twice. In the chat session, the technician could not make renewal work inside the product and eventually sent me a link to the Symantec site to renew, which I did. I feel that this combination of failures of product, technical support by chat, and technical support by e-mail is noteworthy, even today when technical support routinely ranges from poor to abusive. I was left with subscription alerts popping up every 30 seconds after I had resubscribed, and after rebooting. One of the options would have terminated the chat, which I told him when a message was displayed that indicated this.
After the chat which was disconnected, I submitted the question to tech support by e-mail. For anyone considering buying the Symantec Norton SystemWorks product, I would advise them to consider these failures of the product and support. When I resubscribed, I noticed that the "Subscription Service" date inside the product on the antivirus status screen was 5/9/2008 instead of one year later, 2/13/2009. The technician suggested a couple of options to stop the alert, which did not work.
