Hmmm,
Never really had a problem with Norton works on several computers for over ten years. Course there are other things out there as I did not specifically recommend Norton. But for the average joe something that can take care of routine housekeeping duties may be called for instead of finally going for a complete reinstall, usually with a lot of headaches and inoperative accessories. I hear this kind of story all the time from people with less IT knowledge than me and this just leads me to believe that for the masses, a program like Norton Sys Works can help avoid the problems that started this post.
