 Stay away if you are running Tiger! Jun 29, 2005
By Peter Geddeis
This program is not compatible with OS 10.4, and Norton has no plans to upgrade SystemWorks or Utilities to be compatible with OS 10.4...

Don't bother if you're running Panther with large files Apr 15, 2004
By madam bomb
Spent $100 elsewhere on this. I've used Norton in the past but had switched to TechTool. I decided to try them again. I was sadly mistaken.First, I ran Disk Doctor. Got error 23005, which the support said to run Volume Recover. Nothing found there. Got the same error from Disk Doctor. Tried Disk DeFrag and it said that the directories were too large for "this version" of SystemWorks to defrag. Useless. I'll be returning it and using TechTool again.

STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING FROM SYMANTEC!!!! Oct 14, 2005
By Rick Betts

NORTON UTILITIES WILL SCRAMBLE YOUR HARD DRIVE IRREPARABLY!
I purchased the latest version of Norton Utilities from the Symantec Website shortly after upgrading to the new Tiger system from Apple. Ran Norton Utilities, no errors, ran speed disk, scrambled directory. Had to erase hard drive.
I am an expert Mac user and have been so since 1984. I have never had a system crash or any loss of data - ever. Symantec, you suck! You freely send software to loyal users accept $ in return with no prior upfront warning about known problems. I will never purchase software from you again, and will tell everyone in my sphere of influence to stay away from your company. If you own stock... SELL, SELL, SELL!

SPEED DISK MAY DISABLE YOUR STARTUP DISK IN OS X Mar 02, 2004
By Paul
Using Speed Disk on OS X may disable your startup disk, and Symantec thinks so little of their customers, that they make you pay to fix the problem. The answer is to re-instal your system software. It's happened to 3 other people I know, so don't risk it. Good Luck!

May Disable Your Startup Disk Feb 28, 2004
By Paul
UTILITIES 8 MAY DISABLE YOUR STARTUP DISK IN OS X IF YOU RUN SPEED DISK, AND THERE'S NO FREE PHONE SUPPORT! It's happened to 3 other people I know, and Symantec thinks so little of their customers, there's no free phone support, no exceptions! Don't risk it, get TechTool or DiskWarrior
