Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Having used version 4.0 for three years with excellent and invaluable help for optimizing my Mac 7200/120, I purchased v. 5.0 when I upgraded my computer to a current iMac DV+. Unfortunately, many features of the Norton Utilities 5.0 and 6.0 are not yet functional for iMacs, OS 9+ and G3, G4: boot from CD, therefore Optimizing using SpeedDisk is not available. Symantec's technical support site offers an abundance of information about their knowing of these deficiencies and they say they are working on solutions. Symantec says the same problems exist with version 6.0. Had I visited the Symantec site before purchasing, I would have waited for a fully functioning product. (3/8/01)
Since this initial experience, I have not attempted to use this software again. I am unaware of any patch or upgrade offered by Symantec to remedy this problem. The Apple Disk Doctor provided utilities have been sufficient. (9/8/01)

Norton Utilities 6.0 can help your Mac run smoothly and efficiently. Since a poorly organized hard disk can waste storage space, diminish the performance of your Mac, and even cause problems, Norton Utilities contains applications that optimize your machine and reduce the possibility of serious problems. Speed Disk defragments individual files so they'll load faster. When you run it from the bootable Norton Utilities CD, it can also optimize your hard disk by arranging frequently used files for the most efficient access. For even faster access times, you can also use Speed Disk to optimize a disk's directory. Norton FileSaver constantly records vital disk directory information while you're working. If you accidentally delete a file, UnErase can examine the directory and help you recover your data. Its built-in filtering helps you find a specific file or folder quickly and easily. Norton Disk Doctor gives you powerful, easy-to-use tools to find and repair disk problems. If your startup disk won't even boot, you can diagnose it by running Norton Disk Doctor from the CD. Norton Utilities can also monitor your Mac for you, spotting imminent problems before they cause trouble. Volume Recover works with FileSaver to resurrect disks that have crashed or accidentally been reinitialized. Use it on hard drives (internal or external), floppy disks, and removable media, such as Zip disks and Jaz drives. Now Volume Recover can even rebuild the directory structure of a disk, increasing your chances of being able to recover data from it. And you can run Volume Recover from the CD to resurrect dead startup drives.
You can keep your version of Norton Utilities up to date with LiveUpdate, exclusive Symantec technology that makes it easy to keep Norton Utilities current. It downloads application updates and software patches quickly and easily right over the Internet.
