Average Rating: 
Rating: - Waste of Time and Money
Notice the one guy who recommends this product is using the PC version- and obviously rating in the wrong place (most PC people can't do anything right). I bought this product out of desperation because I accidentally trashed a bunch of files in OS 10.2 (thanks to a different program). Needless to say, recovery was impossible because Norton only starts up in OS 9 from the CD, and will not install the product in OS 10.2 unless it is going to the primary drive. So I installed it anyway, knowing my files were gone if I did, and must say that even Disk Doctor is a complete waste as it takes 8 hours to scan my hard drive, then tells me I have a bad disk sector- the only way I can fix it of course is to start up by CD (which is only OS 9), and run Disk Doctor again. Kind of useless when OS 9 can't repair the UNIX core! At least AntiVirus came with it- although I have not had a Mac virus for over 10 years! Wait for Tech Tool 4 to come out.
Rating: - Woefully lacking -- save your money
I had used Norton before OSX with no problem but now, it simply causes more problems than it fixes. It is impossible to create a repair boot CD and place an up-to-date version of Norton on it. This means that users of OS 10.2.x will be in trouble. Customer support for this product is also very poor. In short, Norton is no longer the standard for system or disk repair. I am still uncertain how I will run a proper maintenance on my G4 under OSX, thus I still use OS9 for my serious work. If Apple is serious about OSX, they should do something to alleviate this serious problem. Otherwise who would want to run OSX?!!
Rating: - SystemWorks for Mac lives up to Windows Tradition -Yikes!
Much like my experience with Norton SystemWorks for the PC, this product's installation immediately had drastically negative effects on my new iMac G4's performance. Everything seemed effected... mouse clicking, typing, web browsing, dragging & dropping, movement of/through through menus, scrolling through mailboxes... everything became excruciatingly slower. DVD playback which was perfect became choppy to the point of being unenjoyable. There were other problems too. DiskDoctor gave me "out of memory" errors during a routine scan of my HD (I have 512MB of RAM!). Essentially DiskDoctor could not complete all of its tasks unless I manually canceled all of the tasks except the one that I wanted to complete. This meant that the program had to be run 3-4 times just to do one complete scan. SpeedDisk also couldn't complete a HD defragmentation without errors, even after getting DiskDoctor to confirm that the disk was error free. Overall, this was a very disappointing product. Thankfully, when I dragged SystemWorks and all its associated folders and preferences to the trash and restarted my iMac all was back to normal. I guess I should have learned better than to purchase this product after my similar experiences on Windows PCs with earlier versions. Maybe it will be useful to keep around for emergencies, but keeping it installed is certainly not an option.. that is if I want to keep my system working!
