In my experience, Systemworks is more trouble than it's worth. It made
good sense for the early versions of Windows where many basic functions
were missing, but for the later versions, especially XP, it just gets in
the way. I would un-install it and buy the plain Norton Anti-Virus
program. If you can selectively install Anti-Virus from Systemworks that
would suffice.

I use Bullguard. It has both an Antivirus, Firewall and Backup feature. The
last featue I dont use, but the other
two features, works great. And Bullguard has a more frequent virusdefinition
update than Symantec.

Really? All of our systems run NAV, barely a day goes by that they all haven't
taken a virus definitions update, and according to the logs on this particular
system it had two updates on Friday.

This turned out to be a workable solution. I have an older machine and OS
(98 SE), and it seems that all of Systemworks was taking up too much of
system resources (I've already installed the maximum memory the machine
will take). Installing NAV alone has freed up enough resources to make IE
work properly, and I can run Norton Utilities from the CD. Not an ideal
solution, but an OK fix until I can buy a new machine next year.

Thanks to all who responded.

Well you might like to try these as well;

http://www.flashpeak.com/ ( Slim Browser, freeware)

http://www.jfitz.com/software/RAMpage/

They run very well on 98SE machines, increasing both performance and
stability.
