Disk Editor description
Lets you view and edit files and disk areas. This DOS program is provided as a safety net in case you cannot run Windows.

LiveUpdate description
LiveUpdate makes it easy to keep Norton Utilities and your virus definitions up-to-date by using your computer's modem or Internet connection to automatically download updates directly from Symantec . These updates are free to users of Norton Utilities.

If you have an Internet connection, Symantec's LiveUpdate Pro technology makes it easy to keep your other software applications and hardware drivers up-to-date. LiveUpdate Pro is available from Norton Web Services. You receive a free, limited-time subscription to Norton Web Services when you buy Norton Utilities 3.0.


Norton Diagnostics description
Lets you test your system's hardware. This DOS program is provided as a safety net in case you cannot run Windows.


Norton Disk Doctor description
Diagnoses and repairs a variety of disk problems. It performs several tests, checking everything from the disk's partition table to its physical surface. If Norton Disk Doctor finds a problem, it notifies you before making repairs.


Norton File Compare description
Lets you compare different versions of a text file, see what changed between versions, and selectively undo changes. You can use it to compare any two text files, including initialization (.INI) files, program source code files, and even HTML files designed for viewing on the World Wide Web. A statistics window indicates how many lines have been added, moved, or deleted from the older version of the file.


Norton Optimization Wizard
Improves your computer's performance by optimizing several critical elements of Windows. It optimizes your swap file size, enables Norton SpeedStart program to optimize application loading, and reorganizes Windows registry data for efficient storage and retrieval.


Norton Protection description
Enhances the Windows Recycle Bin, protecting deleted files. UnErase Wizard allows you to recover the protected files.


Norton Registry Editor description
Helps you navigate, edit, and back up the Windows registry. The registry is the centralized database used by Windows to store configuration information, including settings for system hardware, software, and network applications.


Norton Registry Tracker description
Records information about changes made to your registry and .INI files, including when changes were made and what application made the changes. It enables you to restore tracked items to their former state with the Quick Fix and Restore features.


Norton System Doctor description
Continuously monitors your system in the background to keep it free of problems and running at peak efficiency. Its sensors can alert you immediately when conditions require attention, recommend corrective actions, and even fix many problems automatically, without interrupting your work.


Rescue Disk description
Copies your computer's critical setup data and startup files to a set of removable disks, or to a folder. If your computer fails to start, the rescue disk set can usually get the computer started again. Once the computer is running, the Norton Utilities programs stored on the rescue disk set can help you diagnose and fix computer problems, and restore the computer to full functioning.


Space Wizard description
Identifies files that are commonly discardable, infrequently used, excessively large, or duplicates of other files on your disk. You can choose to compress, delete, or move the files from your disk to free up disk space.


Norton Web Services description
Norton Web Services is a Symantec website that provides a growing library of web-based utilities, such as LiveUpdate Pro. It is a subscription-based service, available to anyone with Internet access.

Speed Disk description
Optimizes your drives by defragmenting the files and free space on your disks to make file storage and retrieval more efficient.

System Information description

Norton WinDoctor description
Diagnoses and repairs the most common types of Windows problems, keeping Windows running at peak efficiency. By fixing errors that might otherwise lead to data loss, Norton WinDoctor also protects your work.
