Norton System Works 2003 question

[Tullphan]

Or does one really need all those extras? Could one get by with a different AV, firewall, & perhaps diskeeper?

I like version 2003 Pro... No activation.
GoBack 3 is great if you've got the system to support it (enought power for it to be running in the background).
I like some of the utilities... SpeedDisk, WinDr. I also like to be able to run WinDr. from the CD. It helps find problems on other people's PCs.
I don't use an AV at all. But I do use ZoneAlarm (free version). There are free AV programs out there that are very good.

If you're going to buy SysyemWorks 2003 Pro... Go to a popular auction site and get it for less than $10 shipped. It's well worth the cash.

Is 2003 Pro a resource hog?

Yes

Do this, all is freeware and do not hog resources like norton and offer similar features

Antivir (antivirus solution)
Sygate Personal Firewall
RegScrub XP (for registry cleaning needs)
TuneXP (for speeding up things on your machine)
