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.


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.
