Norton System Works 2001 - what to leave in start-up?

[apoppin]

I just got in on the "Hot Deals" NSW 2001 Professional Edition for $18 (now $15) and it seems like a really nice set of useful programs.

However, I notice it leaves a lot of monitoring software in the start-up menu (System Doctor, Anti-Virus, etc., etc.). Aside from the Anti-Virus, what is really necessary and what is bloat?

I dont leave any of it in start-up. I use them only when needed.

AV 24/7 or suffer the consequences!!! I'm always installing stuff, so I leave the CleanSweep stuff on, but it's not necessary. Only other thing I have is the System Doctor and that's only showing CPU usage. (Some progs hang secretly and I can spot it when it hits 100% for no reason. It crashes a lot though, so I may ditch it.)

I got it on the Hot Deal too. Pro for $20! Schweet!!!

I leave NAV and internet security on.. Thats all.. Everything else is a resource hog.

Thank-you for the tips.

Yes, it was an awesome deal (and it's still going on for $15). I found quite a few of the utilities pretty helpful and rather useful but to leave everything running in startup took at least 10% of system resources.

does this cd have speeddisk on it?

It has Speed disk, System, Win and Disk Doctor, along with the registry tracker and editors, AntiVirus, Clean Sweep, Ghost and WinFax and tons of diagnostics.
