Customer Reviews

February 20, 2010 -"What i thought about Norton Utilities is that is one of the best products to get your computer fast in a blast. The Fast scans for errors are faster than ever including cleaning up your Internet Browser and save up some disk space. I would Likely recommend this product to anybody."

February 20, 2010 -"I have used Norton software since Peter Norton offered his products in the 1980s. The security products have kept my computer safe. I have used the Utilities to correct problems that crept in when various programs were installed and removed and when things just hiccuped. While I have read complaints from people who were adversely affected when the programs became cumbersome several versions ago, Symantec has corrected these issues and now has products that run invisibly in the background and just do their job. Yes I keep my eye out for something better and read published reviews on all similar products. I have installed and tried non-Symantec offerings to see whether they would work but so far the Norton products are still my first choice. I currently use Internet Security and Utilities. I am evaluating 360 to see whether this single package would work and be easier to use. I have not made a decision about that. I highly recommend Norton Internet Security and Norton Utilities to keep your computer safe and running its best."

September 9, 2009 -"Our computer had not worked correctly since we bought it over 4 years ago. We recently stumbled upon Norton Utilities and ran the registry fix tool. We had specific problems with making and copying CD's. We no longer have that problem. All of our software now works properly. Thank you, Norton!"
