Manufacturer's Description

Enhance your computer’s performance with Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition. This system-boosting solution from Symantec solves many PC problems, keeping your computer healthy and running at peak performance. Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition diagnoses, cleans, and helps to fix hard drive errors; solves problems with the Windows registry, system files, and software applications; removes unwanted Internet clutter such as cookies and Web files; and allows you to customize Windows settings according to the way you use your computer. Use Startup Manager to speed up your system’s boot time by preventing the automatic loading of undesired applications at startup. Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition installs quickly and works quietly in the background.

Computers can be frustrating. Systems slow down, and important settings can change. Files, cookies, and fragments of Web pages accumulate in your browser cache, slowing your online experience and monopolizing disk space. Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition can help stop many of these everyday headaches before they even occur. Even better, it performs most scanning, repair, removal, and restoration operations silently and automatically in the background, without interrupting your work or play.

One-Button Checkup in Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition lets you make sure that your PC is clean, repaired, and running at optimal speed with the click of a button. System Optimizer allows you to change Windows settings from a single screen, and Process Viewer shows you applications running at startup that can affect the way your computer performs. Performance Test from PassMark allows you to evaluate the performance of your system and hardware and compare it with other systems.

Performance Test is a fast, easy-to-use PC speed testing and benchmarking tool provided by PassMark Software Company.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Software. Great Value
This really is really excellent software. The only slight downside, is it slow things down a bit, but this is more than acceptable on faster, more recent computers

Useful but could be better!
I have used the software before. I have taken up with Norton the facts that the presale information is sketchy and makes it difficult to select which product from their range meets my needs best. There was a snag installing which entailed a long online chat with India to resolve. Now it is in, it is smooth and efficient at tidying which I do weekly with One Button Backup and Speeddisk tidies the disk monthly. The information with the product is also of limited usefulness, though the paper User Guide includes 13 empty pages!
