| 388076 | 2005-09-13 09:24:00 | I have been using Systemworks 2003 Professional and been happy enough with the product. It is time for subscription renewal and for only a little more than the subscription cost I can downloand an upgrade to Sytemworks 2005. Can anybody tell me if there is any real benefit or otherwise to upgrading this product? Thanks Willy |

| 388078 | 2005-09-13 15:44:00 | I'm moving away from Norton sys 05, and getting myself one of the freebies. With all the possibilities system works is supposed to give you to speed things up and remove rubbish etc, it actually slowed my pc down to a piece of junk instead. And it only took me 2 years to wake up... | Mcpisik (4924) | ||
| 388079 | 2005-09-13 22:26:00 | while i like systomworks i have gotton sick of nortons antivirus and the problems the later vers have been giving. for the price of the upgrade you could afford to go buy a better antivirus and still keep the system works side of nortons. the tools come in handy. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 388080 | 2005-09-14 09:40:00 | When Leo Laporte was asked about System Works 2005 by a caller who had purchased it and rang his on his KFI AM radio show, Leo asked if he'd opened it and if not to take it straight back and get a refund. Good advice it seems. leo.am |

| 388081 | 2005-09-14 09:53:00 | Thanks for all your feedback guys. I guess I will take your advice and abandon Norton as my antivirus programme. I understand AVG has a good following and may give that a whirl. | willy (8876) | ||
| 388082 | 2005-09-14 10:38:00 | It can be fun to go into Dick Smith and watch the salemen selling suckers anti-virus, firewalls and other "protection" for bargain basement prices of $160, when there are perfectly good free versions of all of these things on the net. AVG works perfectly well for me in conjunction with Zone Alarm and Mircosoft anti-spyware (and a few other freebees thrown in). Try somewhere like www.snapfiles.com |
