Key Features

So, just how much PC system performance and security optimization does your home network or organization require? Now, you can deploy exactly the right integrated software suite to match your unique technology environment and needs:

Standard Edition

With the popular Norton SystemWorks Standard Edition—recipient of the coveted PC World “Best Buy” Award (June 2005)—you’re on your way to serious “protection and detection.” The package’s highlighted features and benefits include:

Spyware, virus and worm blocking

Did you know it’s been estimated that a new security threat is introduced every five minutes? The acclaimed Norton AntiVirus utilities start you with a fresh, clean system after installation, then continually blocks, scans for and removes everything from viruses and Trojan horses to worms, virus-infected emails and other emerging malware threats. It even handles unwanted monitoring software, including spyware and keystroke loggers. Best of all, updates are downloaded automatically, so you’re always protected against the most current incursions.

PC health repair, maintenance

With the included Norton Utilities application suite running continuously (in the background), you can get valuable help recovering from system crashes, repair PC problems and even fix hard-disk errors. It also lets you compare various versions of files, can help you recover deleted files (most of the time) and actually defragments individual files and eliminates cookies, caches and other Internet clutter to help optimize hard-drive performance.

Healthy PC-state restoration

The Norton GoBack utility has a well-deserved reputation as a lifesaver. It allows you to—Tada!—restore your PC to a healthy state by “going back” minutes, hours or even days to BEFORE current problems existed. Try new software without risk. Restore files that have been lost, deleted or modified. The included Checkup diagnostics tool delivers a comprehensive report of your PC hardware, while the System Optimizer module collects all your system configuration controls in a single, easily accessible location.

Basic Edition

If you’re not as concerned about viruses and other shared threats—for example, in situations where a PC is not used for Internet, email or other data-sharing activities—you may want to consider the popular Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition. It includes all of the above functionality, with the exception of that offered by Norton AntiVirus.

Premier Edition

If you can benefit from additional utilities to help you back up and protect data, photos or other important files, consider moving up to Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition. In addition to everything included in the Standard Edition, it includes Norton Save & Restore, which assists you in easily backing up files and folders, safeguarding critical data and creating full backups of your PC’s contents.

Summary

This comprehensive, industry-leading suite of Norton system performance and security solutions, ranked “Best Buy” by PC World (June 2005), is among the smartest choices today’s home and business PC users can make to prevent and/or solve computer problems as they surface—or in many cases, even before.

From fighting viruses, to optimizing performance, to safely navigating you through data backups and recovery, Norton SystemWorks is a must-have for anyone pressing a PC’s “On” button.
