Symantec has announced new versions of Norton SystemWorks, the PC tuneup solution that diagnoses, repairs and maintains consumer and home office/small office computers. Norton SystemWorks Standard, Norton SystemWorks Premier and Norton SystemWorks Basic are now Vista compatible.

All three editions of Norton SystemWorks claim to automatically diagnose and fix hard drive errors with the One-Button Checkup feature. Also included are Norton Utilities’ trusted tools, Norton Cleanup, which removes cookies and temporary files, and System Optimiser, which allows computer users to optimise their Windows settings from a single screen.

In addition, Norton SystemWorks Standard and Premier include Norton AntiVirus 2008, which protects against new and emerging malicious code. Norton SystemWorks Premier also features Norton Save & Restore 2.0, offering data backup and recovery.

According to Rowan Trollope, senior vice president, Consumer Business Unit, Symantec, “The latest Vista-compatible version of Norton SystemWorks provides the PC tuneup tools needed to keep computers running quickly and smoothly, and it also offers essential defenses against online threats and backup capabilities, protecting PCs from malicious code and data loss.”
