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.
