Here are some customer reviews of
Norton Systemworks 2006
: I spent three hours helping a friend uninstall norton systemworks..He thought he could install this over norton nis2006 !!Wrong!! these programs arent compatible with each other..Both have versions of noton anti-virus 2006.!!! you cant run both...They fought each other until he got a grey screen.Nothing worked!!! I had to perform a clean windows install,and installed norton 2005 antivirus and the 2005 norton firewall...Now all is well...? we have to wait 15 days to see if the registration fails...You install at your own risk...Upgrading is not always better...You be the judge of this.
 I've been using Norton since 1998, and always recommended it to my friends. I've just bought a new computer somedays ago, and decided to install the Norton softwares, after a fresh Win XP install. After I installed Norton Internet Security 2006, I started to have a few boot issues, but I didn't mind them. Some days after I installed Norton Systemworks, my Windows XP started to have even more boot issues, and right now it refuses to boot. GoBack does not work.
A friends of mine had the same problems after installing Norton Internet Security 2006.
Beware of this product!
Symantec, you've just lost a loyal customer.
If you upgrade from the 2005 Premiere version (which includes Ghost) to the 2006 standard version (which does not include Ghost), be warned that the upgrade deletes the entire previous suite, so you'll lose the use of Ghost. Customer service (outsourced to India) is worthless - basically told me to send back the software for a refund (which I'm going to do).
I wanted to protect me brand new computer from virus attack, and finally i got the kind of virus by installing this software. I installed this software and it crashed totally my computer. I paid 70 $ more to retreive my data and then I am going to reinstalle xp to the computer. I think they should rembourse us for total cost and waist of time.
I purchased Norton SystemWorks 2006 from Amazon. The CD displayed the error message "The wrong volume is in the drive. Please insert volume NSW2006 into drive E:" The product package only came with one CD.
This is an indication that I was sold a bad or incomplete CD disk. I tried to find the error/resolution on Symantec's service website; however without any luck. I called their 900-number and paid the service call only to have the technician tell me that I had to purchase a duplicate CD at a cost of $10.00 plus $9.95 s&h because they delivered a bad product.
I have been a Norton customer since the early 1990's. Even though they have a good product in SystemWorks, which I have purchased each year since it came out, sadly because of their lack of customer service I am no longer a customer of Symantec, and I have a 2006 version I can do nothing with.
