Money is not an issue so I am wondering which one would be more useful. I am a typical home user. Thanks ahead of time.

Norton SystemWorks Pro is the best. You will get backup power, vp, internet security and utilites for your os. What os are you running?

I am running Win XP Pro. Internet Security includes the Personal Firewall and AntiSpam. That is why I am considering it.

SystemWorks for sure. Lots of more features (most pretty useful) in SystemWorks.

Buy?

Yes buy! Right now I am able to get them for a really good deal through my college.

Is it possible to try to get both? NSW fixes up registry errors, cleans up caches/frees space, defrags, provides virus protection, etc. The pro version includes Norton Ghost for imaging your disk, a nice feature to help yourself when you know that Windows is gonna screw up eventually, lol.
NIS provides software firewall and antivirus protection, and cleaning the Internet cache features, blah blah.

So, get both. ^_^

look -

don't buy it. spend the money on beer. you're a student right?

good point!



i don't think i have enough to buy both. i am already considering left over beer money into the equation!

Both products are pretty much meant for different purposes.
Norton Internet Security Professional is based around system protection.
Norton Systemworks Professional is more based around system maintaince.

In my opinion NIS is the more useful and practical choice as I tend to think of NSW as bloatware.

There are lots of firewall programs out there, and anti-spam? Seems kinda useless really.

i have no anti-spam software, and i got no spam in my email. Just use 2 emails, 1 personal, 1 to sign up for stuff. I have yahoo,and they do a great job as is.

free computer software, thats intended to be free and good:

(i personally recommend the pop up blocker)


NSW is one of the best programs i have. Anti-virus, clean up tools, etc....
