Hi,

I've seen the full retail 2003 version for sale for as low as $15 including
one year of updates (but without printed manuals, they're in electronic form
on CD) and as much as I realize the average mass consumer software packages
can be clumsy if not ineffectual this seems like a decent price for what you
get. Is there anything so reprehensible/technical (I'm running XP Pro) about
this package that even the $15 is a waste of money? Maybe Utilities and Ghost
make it worth it whereas I'm better off with NOD32 as an anti-virus solution.

The Professional (http://www.symantec.com/sabu/sysworks/pro/) version includes
the following:
Norton AntiVirus
Norton Utilities
Norton CleanSweep
Norton Ghost
GoBack 3 Personal Edition

Thanks, Steve.

I would not touch the other utilities included, but ghost alone is easily
worth the $15.

I currently use 2003 Pro, bought it for $12. I use mainly for the
anti-virus which seems to work just fine. I caught SoBig for me...haha.
And the autoupdates are nice.
