Others say...
"What Happened to My Rebate?" I was supposed to get a $30 rebate on this, as a renewing customer with Norton SystemWorks, but the system never offered it to me. It seems to have been a shill that never came through -- emphasized in the promo headline, but never offered in a tangible way I could take advantage of. [...]
"Avoid Like the Plague" If I could give this piece of crap no star I would. Installation wasn't a hassle. But it's such a system hog that the whole system slows down. System boot takes an eternity with this piece of crap - and my machine's a Pentium-IV running at 3 ghz and 1 GB of RAM!
Worse, much worse, I've learned that, over time, this piece of dog poo ends up corrupting Windows. How exactly this happens, I have to confess, I haven't a clue. But one day, one day, you may just very well wake up to find Windows no longer works. (I'm no fan of Windows - I'm writing this on my ever reliable Mac - God knows XP has its problems as well. But mix these two together and you have a recipe for disaster.)
I kid you not.
"Serious installation problems" Like many others who have posted here. SystemWorks and Norton AV 2004 and 2005 have serious installation problems. I've had problems with both versions on both Win2k and XP. I'm an experienced IT professional and worked through the support documents with no success. Buy this at your own risk. If you get it installed it will probably work well for you. But if it doesn't install the first time you'll be in for hours of frustration.
"Installation Nightmare - Try V-Com's Systemsuite Instead" I'm still trying to install this software. There are about 7 technotes on the Symantec website dealing with installation problems for this software, as well as Personal Firewall. You better read them all before you even try, I say try, to install this stuff. Count on problems if you have a prior version that you are going to remove and upgrade. I've been working on installing this for about 4 hours, and one time I crashed the computer trying to implement one of Symantec's fixes -- spent 2 days trying to revive it, gave up and restored the hard drive with a backup image. Over the years, this software has become more bloated and problematic. Symantec has been complacent about product quality. Better bet is SystemSuite Pro 6 by V-com. I've been running version 5 for a year on another computer and it works very well, not a resource hog, only a few minor problems that V_com helped me fix. I installed Version 6 on my brother's computer with no problem at all.
"Big Headache!" I've been using Norton's Systems Works and Firewall for years and have been very happy with them up till now. Already 2004's versions gave me problems and I could not install easily. I had constant automatic shut downs. Tech help was WORTHLESS! I finally had to reformat my computer and then everything worked fine. Now 2005's version is even worse. I could not install either Systems Works or the Firewall without my computer constantly shutting down during install. Finally, I had to do their fix of completely deleting all remenants of any Norton products. I did a reinstall of SW and my computer did not shut down, but not everything installed. I also managed to get the firewall installed as well. But since then, I've had constant problems again with my computer shutting down and then reboot problems when I try to run antivirus, or other Norton applications. I also keep getting error messages that some file is missing. Tech help was once again, completely worthless. I give up! This product, the tech help and also their rebate problems (I always have to call up about one of my rebates), all make for a crappy experience. I'm going to reinstall SW 2002, which had all the features I wanted, but I will switch to Alarm Zone for my antivirus and firwall needs.

What our customer's say!
"Buggy, Fatally Flawed Bloatware", It's too bad a review of 0 stars is not possible. 1 star, even a half star, is too good a rating for this product. Steer clear of Symantec. I repeat, steer clear of Symantec. As long as people continue to use their garbage products, they will continue to produce garbage for their beta testers, oops sorry, I mean customers. I'd been a Norton user since '98, but I have officially thrown in the towel after too many problems with SystemWorks 2005. To many bugs, install and system resource issues, and headaches in general. Customer support and technical support is non-existent, unless you pay out the ying yang for it. They can be talked into waving the support fee one time only. No matter though. When you call the technical support line or customer support line, you will likely get an agent with a bad attitude, is not knowledgeable of the product, and is barely fluent in English. A bad combination. So, on balance, it's a waste of time. Online support is a joke. The support website search functions are mediocre at best. GOOD LUCK EVEN FINDING A RELEVANT SOLUTION. Email support? Don't attempt it unless you enjoy having your intelligence insulted. I do miss WinDoctor, but oh well, life goes on. I currently use BitDefender Antivirus. I'm still looking for a good set of disk and file utilities to replace the SystemWorks suite. Currently, I am looking at a lengthy session of cleanup for what I will call a dead installation. Really dead. I can't run the apps or repair the installation from the CD. Error pertaining to not having access permissions. Ditto launching the program from the start menu. Symantec related Windows XP services will not start. Can't repair installation from add/remove programs--indicates program has been removed, would I like to remove the listing from add/remove programs. All files and folders present on the hard drive. All this after much ado getting this installation to work in the first place. So, I will have to manually remove Symantec files from the hard drive and manually remove all registry entries, hoping that I have no further serious problems caused by all this hacking. I will have a restore point and the registry backed up. Adios, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, Ciao, Sayonara, Hasta la vista Symantec.
"Ripoff--Disable ware", Don't buy software you pay good money for only to have it disabled! If I had known this was going to be disabled prematurely, I would have never had bought it.
After getting an error message that the subscription was invalid, I call support and was told the software subscription was up despite the fact that I still 4+ months left on the subscription renewal.
All I asked for for was the entire year subscription I purchased 11/7/2005 and am able to use the product (System Works 2004) until that time. I think that's reasonable, legitimate and legal as there was no agreement that I would have purchased another product to have the registration time applied to the product.
While the software I bought was SystemWorks, I don't think the draconian software policy would differ across products.
Now the product is disabled and EVERY service is disabled as well. That means, no virus scan, no disk doctor--nothing.
"I give it 1 star, only becuase there is no 0 star rating", I purchased this product, having using earlier versions and been completely satisfied. I presntly use Norton Systemworks 2003 and have discarded their 2005 version. Their programs are no longer integrated and each program, in multiple parts, needs to contact Symantec (parent org) with statistical info or what ever it is that your computer is revealing to them? I downloaded a trial version of 2006 Systemworks, think it's nothing more than 2005 with a few more added bugs? Norton Systemworks 2003 was the Symantec's last actual attempt at upgrading their product, save your money and invest in, much cheaper too, I may add, that version.
"I like it!", I purchased Systemworks 2005 with some hesitation after reading the reviews. However, I have Systemworks 2003 Professional on my Dell 8200 desktop and 2004 on my Dell 4600 desktop, both work great with never a problem. I bought 2005 for my Inspiron 8600 laptop. Installation was quite easy with no problems. I was not running a previous version of Norton. It certainly is a system hog but that is to be expected for what you are getting. I have been using it now for about a week and no problems at all.
"Fooled Again", I've had home computers since the Timex Sinclair in 1982. The only time I've been forced to reformat my hard drive was a couple years ago after install problems with System Works 2002. I bought 2005 from buy.com because it was $64 with $64 rebates for upgrading. Free but not worth it.
I installed 2005 over 2005 that came installed on a new desktop. The pre-installed version had a virus update subscription that was to expire 12/5/05. After installing from the CD and registering I could not update my virus definitions as my "subscription" had expired instead of being extended 12 months as it should have been.
Now after a few attempts at uninstalling and re-installing, using the advice and programs from Symantec's web site the program is installed but won't run. At times it has seemed to keep unrelated programs from running.
If you do try to install this software be sure to have the backups and recovery points ready.
Read this reviews before You buy...
"Anti Virus Protection Can Stop Without Warning!!!", The copy protection in this program can stop the anti-virus protection without warning. In my case, every 3-4 weeks I discover that the program must have the license reactivated manually. There is no warning except a red X on the icon in the system tray. Until you notice this, YOU HAVE NO ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION. Once you reactivate your license, you find that clicking on the button to activate the virus protection does nothing until you reboot your system. I do not recommend purchase on this program since you cannot depend on it to provide protection. This is a known problem and Symantec has failed to fix it.
"Boy, I Must Be a Moron", Boy, I must be a moron. After reading the feedback for this product, only a complete idiot would buy SystemWorks 2005. Well, call me an idiot--or at least get in line to do so. I bought it and, wow, it works. It installs like a charm. It works like a charm. I have had no problems. I upgraded from SystemWorks 2003--didn't even uninstall 2003 just like the DIRECTIONS SAY. In fact, if you follow the directions, you might not have any trouble either. I did not install Go Back--no need for that with XP. Otherwise, this continues to be a great product. Never fear, SystemWorks is still safe for us mere mortals, and morons too.
"I've given up on Symantec and Norton", I've been a customer of theirs since the 1980s! It's been a long, slow slide south over these years, but now I'm finally throwing in the towel. They once set the standard. Now they are an embarrassment, and their products so bad it's an insult to their customers, old and new. Very sad.
"Symantec is slipping", SystemWorks 2005 covers the basics of a utility package but is showing its age. It add practically nothing new to the previous versions. And, like many others, I had trouble with the installation. It took me two days to finish the install properly.
"It's like stealing!", You buy the program (SystemsWorks 2005), and when you try to use it you get error messages that some of the files didn't install. Try over again, you're told. It was a chore the first time. So you try to get in touch with Symantec, via email or otherwise. Forget email for techical help. "Otherwise"--that'll cost you $30 for a program out of the box only a few hours and you can't get to work for faults in their program.. I've used Norton from the time he first started out, and he was good, excellent. Now, maybe he's too rich and doesn't care.
Terribly frustrated
