This new version of
Norton
SystemWorks
provides users with the most awarded system tools worldwide, which are all
accessible through a single, user-friendly and easy to use interface.
Norton AntiVirus 2001 is more complete and reliable in terms of virus
detection than ever and the unique LiveUpdate feature extends the life of
the
whole
product and eases its maintenance. However we deeply regret the lack
of new features for Norton CleanSweep 2001 and Norton Utilities 2001. The
best thing of this new suite is
certainly the fact
that it now works with all windows system
from Windows 9x to Windows 2000 and Windows Me and is at a very reasonable
and affordable price. Windows Me and Windows 2000 users should buy this
new version right now while Windows 98 users may stick to Norton
SystemWorks 2000.
Note that a Professional
release of SystemWorks 2001 is also available and comes with Ghost 2001 &
WinFax Basic.
