Before getting any "bundled" software, you'd certainly
best be served by getting qualified expert guidance.
Why? I purchased a Norton SystemWorks package and
installed it on my laptop... I think it was the "Clean
Disk" section that caused my harddrive to freeze up and
lost a lot of data. I returned it to CompUSA with the
problem and they agreed it wasn't foolproof and refunded
my money... doesn't that speak of something about that
bundled package? Absolutely!
