Summary

Norton Utilities Version 16.0.2.39
DarkWorks1962June 10, 2016
Pros
Windows 10 Professional x64 Compatible Deep cleaning junk and temp files Fixes Defragmentation of Registry Well Bult in Disk Defrag and Disk Doctor is Excellent
Cons
In Windows 10 you must really pay attention when it comes to cleaning your registry. Make a complete OS Backup and use the built in registry backup. I started with nothing checked in the registry department and began running one step at a time. Stay far away from the Deep Cleaning. You can easily configure any and all settings. Disk Defrag only works on standard external and internal hard drives. There is no SSD support such as TRIM. For that, I use another program
Summary
It seems to me that most people here complaining are talking about much older versions and on far older operating systems that makes their argument null and void since so much has been added to the new version of Norton Utilities.
Do not play with windows registry!
raju_thoratJuly 27, 2012
Pros
None. There are few but Cons are dangerous.
Cons
My PC was in working condition. I was using Ccleaner since last 1 year. I thing Norton Utilities will make my PC better. But when I run registry defrag module and restarted PC I saw Blue Screen Error. It was impossible to start PC even in safe mode. When I used Windows 7 DVD to recover ,the System Restore was not working. Finally I formatted Windows Partition and restored PC using System Image Backup.
Summary
Do not play with windows registry.
Didn't improve operation of my computer
lsmitty5March 4, 2012
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
It keeps telling me that the computer needs fixing even after it has run and claimed that almost all problems were fixed. No discernible improvement in start-up time.
Summary
Doesn't seem to do anything worth-while as shown in improved computer operation (Windows Vista 64 bit)
Same as pc tools performance toolkit.
stewiebee123November 16, 2010
Pros
None tune up utilities 2011 far better.
Cons
Unfair to sell identical products rebadged to customers.
Summary
The fact that pc tools sells performance toolkit without making it clear that it is norton utilities with a different interface but exact same internals is misleading.I myself purchased norton utilities 2010 this week only to find that my installed pc tools performance toolkit already installed on my computer was the same product.I am sure that i would find the registry cleaner was the same as registry mechanic uses.It seems a ploy to sell identical products rebadged to customers.
THE VERY BEST!!!
colinh25August 23, 2010
Pros
Makes my computer run good, iv tried tons of utility programs out there but i always keep coming back to Norton!!!!!!!
Cons
No built in defrag, just a link to the OS default one..
Summary
i would recommend this to everyone, it's pretty damn good :D, after 2 weeks of surfing the net, doing big projects, uninstalling/installing stuff (using the disk cleaner & registry cleaner) my computer runs smother and the internet seems to run better too :D, such a good program :)
Gone are the Glory days of a once major program, Shame
parker12350July 17, 2010
Pros
It has a great Rrgistry program clean and organize it.
Cons
Wher is my noton disk doctor? Where is the major tools that made Nortons Utilities great. They are not in this program. $49.00, noway. Maybe $10.00.
Summary
Did I purchase the wrong Norton's Program. Where is the Norton's Disk Doctor, The Win Doctor, and all the Norton?s tools that kept my windows running right. I started using Norton's Utilities when it was just DOS 3.3 all the way to XP. I learned to count on Norton?s. If any people knew about hard drives, file structure, MBR, etc, it was Norton. But today, I don't know if they sold the store to Bill, or they are still trying to unravel Windows Vista and Windows 7. Or did Peter Norton pass away without me knowing it, Lord I hope not. Please help someone at Norton?s, pick up the torch. Return to the days of old. Give us the good stuff back that works with Windows 7.
A great cleaning utility
mttxn12December 29, 2009
Pros
It cleans PCs better than other utilities. It can find things deep within the system and registry. It's reliable.
Cons
No major complaints. It does link to some Windows based utilities but I'm okay with that. I would rather defrag with the built-in Windows defragger than some 3rd party tool.
Summary
A good cleaning utility to have on your computer. Complements Norton's Internet Security Suite well.
Too Bad: 2009 Product is weak and worse than ever :-(
RollingoutDecember 1, 2009
Pros
Had the promise of an improved product, compatible with Win 7 .... BUT.... they failed. Good thing there is a 60 day return policy. I sent mine back.
Cons
Weak system maintenance suite. Some of the apps on the programs home page, are only a reuse or pointer to exactly what's already in Win7. (Disk Defrag is a good example). Hey Symantec: Where's the real value or value add??? Plus it's till buggy
Summary
This is a rip-off... little value to the user and the poor tech support only compounds the problems. Too bad. Symantec used to be a good company with some great products. Hope they see the errors in their ways, sometime soon and fix some of this.
Good one. Love it.
