WHY BUY NORTON SYSTEMWORKS PREMIER EDITION 12.0?



Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition 12.0’s main purpose is to ensure your computer always runs as its best and keep it free from problems. In order to achieve this, it includes all the powerful utilities found in Norton SystemWorks Basic Edition 12.0. However, it also includes features NOT found in this product:

• It adds strong antivirus and antispyware protection by including Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware.
• It boasts extensive data backup and restore features by including Norton Save & Restore 2.0, as well as a disk imaging technology borrowed from Norton Ghost 14.0.

The advantage of having backup and imaging features on top of antivirus protection is that while being protected from online threats at all times, your data can also be saved to an external device (for instance) to provide an additional layer of security.


HOW DOES NORTON SYSTEMWORKS PREMIER EDITION 12.0 WORK?



Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition 12.0 has three main functions:

1. Continually optimize the performance of your computer to make it run faster.
2. Keep you protected against online threats at all times.
3. Allow you to back up your important system and personal data easily.

Here is how all of this is done:


COMPUTER PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

Consider Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition 12.0 as being the dedicated housekeeper for your computer: thanks to a collection of powerful utilities, the application monitors it at all times, keeping it free of unnecessary files, repaired and running at its best. Here’s what each of these utilities can do to ensure your computer performs like it should:


Windows Performance Utilities

Norton WinDoctor can automatically identify and fix common Windows problems, for instance with the registry, system files and installed software applications.

Norton Startup Manager will speed up your computer’s boot time by preventing undesired applications to automatically load at startup.

One-Button Checkup uses multiple diagnostic tools to assess the health of your computer in order to identify problems. You then have the option to get them fixed automatically with the click of a button. It is fully customizable so you can choose what types of system scans should be run and when.

CheckIt Diagnostics actually physically examines your hardware to assess its stability and potential.

System Optimizer gives you a way to tweak and personalize many Windows settings in one location because different users have different preferences.

Process Viewer allows you to see the processes running on your machine at any time and which of these affect overall performance the most.


Hard Drive (Disk) Maintenance Utilities

Norton Speed Disk handles tasks related to your hard drives: storage management and performance are optimized thanks to powerful defragmentation and cleaning capabilities, among other things.

Norton Disk Doctor has the ability to automatically diagnose and fix hard drive problems.


File Management Utilities

Norton Cleanup removes Internet clutter which, after some time, can just clog up your computer and slow down its performance. This includes cookies, cache files and temporary files.

Norton WipeInfo safely and permanently removes unwanted sensitives files from your computer to protect your privacy, should your computer be accessed in an unauthorized manner.

Norton UnErase Wizard can restore files you have deleted to their original state (Windows XP only).


ONLINE THREAT PROTECTION

Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition 12.0 includes Norton Antivirus 2009 with Antispyware, which uses 3 core technologies to protect you:

SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response), Symantec’s industry-leading protection technology which decides whether or not an application is dangerous based on its behavioral characteristics. It is particularly useful for protection against online threats that have not been officially 'recognized' yet and therefore for which no signatures exist.

• A signature-based technology is also used for complete coverage. It compares software code patterns of applications residing on your computer with the code of known threats ('signatures'). If there's a match, the corresponding applications are promptly removed.

• A powerful antispyware protection ensures unwanted programs spying on your surfing habits are immediately neutralized.


DATA BACKUP & RESTORE

Thanks to the features of Norton Save & Restore 2.0, you can:

Create full system and file backups: keep all of your system files, application settings, and important personal data safe from PC crashes.

Automatically back up data on schedule and events.

Reduce system slowdown with incremental and differential backups: only backup what has changed since the last backup operation.


To summarize, if you want to make sure your PC is protected against online threats while running at peak performance and know that all of your important data can be backed up easily on a regular basis, order Norton SystemWorks Premier Edition 12.0 today!
