Iolo System Mehanic 5 vs Norton SystemWorks '05

Im going to buy one of these (Iolo System Mehanic 5 or Norton SystemWorks 2005) and i already have norton antivirus 2005 coming for my new computer - never used either and iolo looks like it has a great suite but i love the norton name due to my experience with antivirus . . .

any opinions as to which i should get for overall maintenance / protection??

Thanks guys

I use both........ not both antivirus. I think Norton Internet Security 2005 is great in everyway. It scans much faster, as for System Mechanic 5 well it asks you if you really want open a port for your internet gaming. Literally, it will ask you twice to make sure that you really want to play that game for the first time. But Both antivirus programs get updates more often than last year's model. I took out the System Mechanic Antivirus and Firewall because i did not like the feature of it asking me twice if i really really want to open this port this game. Only problem with NIS is the email settings will make your emails pop up automatically. But you can change that!!!

 

thank you very much for the response . . .


anyone else have any info on Symatec SystemWorks 2005?? I am curious how it stacks up to System Mehanic 5 as ive downloaded the free version of mechanic 5 and like it so far but as far as an investment i would love some more info . . .
