Norton SystemWorks 2002 is still the best set of utilities you can find on the market. Thousands of users have relied on the Norton power for more than a decade, worldwide. This new version already supports the upcoming Windows XP ensuring Windows XP users will get the protection and system tools they need starting day number one. The SystemWorks 2002 interface is still a marvel of integration thanks to a user-friendly design. Norton AntiVirus 2002 is the software that evolves the most in the suite to provide users with the ultimate level of security they crave for while Norton Cleansweep and Norton Utilities 2002 clearly stagnate since they bring absolutely no new features. The best thing of this new suite is that it now works with all windows platforms from Windows 9x, Windows 2000, Windows Me to Windows XP with a reasonable and affordable price. This new version clearly targets Windows XP users and represents the complete problem solving suite.
