Someone in this thread suggested Diskkeeper, and I'm glad 'cause I couldn't recall the name. Spinrite is much better at detecting bad blocks.

If you're on NTFS, chkdsk will do the trick in place of disk doctor for file allocation issues unlike for FAT filesystems, Norton has little to no extra capability over chkdsk. Mostly the registry cleaner (which has been a little brain dead last few versions) and the CleanSweep was kind of handy but not irreplaceable. I'm really looking to replace just some of the Norton Utilities bits. Norton has come a long way as a brand, seemingly by shedding all the great utilities that made the Norton name known in the first place. Hey, what do you know? I'm sick of SystemWorks too. Which BTW allt he apps I have listed are shareware (cost money) I'm telling you all this after extensive testing, I have my own freeware website and all I do all day is test software, and I do test shareware also. SS is the only one that is good out there, the rest of them don't pickup everything ss gets and it has no false positives, spybot and adaware are a joke next to it and so are all the other anti spyware. You list is missing some thing important, and this a good anti spyware, that would be spysweeper.
NORTON DISK DOCTOR BOOT DISK FOR WINDOWS 7 HOW TO
O&O again light and fast and hands down the best defrager( one process that you can kill if you like, it does not need to run )Īcronis is great for backup, but here is how to use it right, once you install it make a rescue CD and then you can uninstall acronis and just boot of the CD and backup from there, for best results with backups you need to do it before windows boots anyways Sygate again light and fast (has only one process) Nod is light and fast and IMO the best in av (has only 2 processes)
NORTON DISK DOCTOR BOOT DISK FOR WINDOWS 7 PRO
Sygate pro (firewalls don't need updates, so save it ) when windows xp appered i noticed i had no use for it.Ģ.

Symantec is bad for ur computer, it hogs ur computer badly and the antivirus and firewall are not so good. asahmpoo uninstaller platinum 2.0 is also very usefull. also a good addition is spybot search & destroy 1.4 wich is free. it does a great job.įor security use firefox or opera instead of internet exploder. it a very powerfull tool and u can do harm as well as good to the system if u leave the predefined settings.įor defargging i use o&o defrag 8. it's easy to configure too but as with any firewall u got to know what u are doing.įor registry repair and others i use jv16 power tools. they also make the antihacker firewall.įor firewall i recomend agnitium outpost firewall. it is the weapon of choice if i have a system that has already been infected. For antivirus use kaspersky antivirus 5.0 personal pro and i have no problems.
