Editors' rating
Good
6.3
out of 10
- The good: A strong set of user-configurable options; easy-to-navigate interface.
- The bad: Can be hard to install; expensive technical support.
- The bottom line: Norton SystemWorks 2004 is a fine set of useful hard drive utilities, but advanced users will want Iolo Technologies' System Mechanic instead.

Intro of Norton SystemWorks 2004
This year, Norton SystemWorks has added a few new components, including Norton Password Manager 2004 and a new spy/adware component within Norton's antivirus app, Norton AntiVirus 2004. Because it also includes Norton Utilities, new users won't go wrong with SystemWorks 2004 as their basic utility package. But if you already own SystemWorks, this year's improvements just aren't enough to justify the $40 upgrade price, given that much of the package remains unchanged. And more-advanced users should instead buy Iolo Technologies' System Mechanic 4.0 Professional for tools that really get under the hood within Windows OSs without draining your system resources.
