I just went through some harrowing times with AVG antivirus and performance and ran screaming back to my Norton antivirus with the addition of the utilities as there is sooooo much junk on the internet these days, that you do need a cleaning program every once and a while. Smart Updates keep Norton Utilities up-to-date by automatically installing product updates. Registry Cleaner reduces system errors and crashes by safely cleaning and repairing the registry. Registry Defragmenter reduces system crashes by optimizing your registry to help your PC boot up faster.ĭisk Cleaner permanently erases hidden records and unwanted files so confidential information can't be retrieved by cybercriminals or anyone else, if you sell or donate your PC. Registry Monitor helps applications launch faster and boosts performance by notifying you when the Windows registry is in need of repair. Service Manager optimizes active Windows services so applications can run simultaneously without slowdowns.
Startup Manager improves PC boot time by choosing which programs will load at startup time. NEW Norton UnErase lets you quickly restore accidentally deleted files that may be hidden on your hard drive. NEW Speed Disk defragments and optimizes files and data for increased performance. NEW Disk Doctor identifies and fixes potential problems that can lead to hard drive crashes. And it permanently deletes unneeded confidential data so it can’t be stolen by cybercriminals.

It erases your activity from Web browsers and other software lists to prevent others from snooping. Norton Utilities even protects your privacy.
The new Speed Disk reorganizes and groups the data on your hard disk closely together so your PC can find it faster and programs and files load quicker.
It lets you choose what services load at startup for faster startup times, and it cleans and optimizes your Windows registry for better overall PC performance. Norton Utilities also helps keep your PC running at top speed. With the new Unerase Wizard, you can search for and “rescue” files that are hidden on your hard drive but are still retrievable.
