I ordered this version of Norton Utilities because my version 14 was coming up for renewal and I wanted to try the newer version to see if there were improvements over version 14, and there are. There are 5 sections to this newest version of Norton Utilities.
Optimize, Maintain, Recover, Windows Tools, and Administer are all subdivided into different working tools to help keep your computer running smoothly.
Optimize has the following subdivisions: Clean your registry which scans and safely cleans, repairs, and optimized your Windows registry. Defragment your registry which defragments and optimizes your registry. Tuneup your services which optimizes and manages your Windows services. Optimize your system which optimize and monitors your system for better performance. Clean your disks which cleans your computer and internet traces. Defragments your disks which uses SpeedDisk to optimize and defragment your disks.
Maintain has the following subdivisions: Shred your files, Health Report, Repair your disks, Manage your services, and Manage your startup. The shred your files has a function which can safely and securely clean selected files on your computer through drag and drop or from the recycle bin. The Health Report function shows you what areas of your computer need attention: Overall Health of your System ie., registry health, privacy health or disk health, and it will take you to the affected area as you improve both operations and functions. The repair your disks section is where you can takes care of your disk functions both check and repair and the master boot of your system and partitions of the disks. You can schedule a lot of the function and let the computer take care of what is needed or you have the option to control these functions yourself. The Manage your services function is your Service Manager, the list shown shows the performance of the third party services that are on your computer that are loaded when Windows starts. These impact both start up and shut down of your computer, you can control these making startup faster if you'd like. Manage and Startup shows you what manages your bootup, startup and all entry points and you can change these if there is a problem.
The Recover function has two subdivisions: Restore which you can view and restore previous backup and undo repairs. Recover deleted files is where UnErase recovers deleted files from your computer.
The Windows Tools section has 14 subdivisions which basically take care of management and control function both on the computer and devices, and events and security functions associated with having a clean running computer.
The Administer is where you can control your customization of your computer settings and functions along with a smart update function to keep your utility program up-to-date. The Administer funtion keeps you in control and keeps out others from changing settings.
I've had Symantec's Norton Utility programs on my computer for years and this is more comprehensive than others to date and it runs on schedule or on your schedule as you wish and it has greater flexibility and more control than previous versions. This is an intuitive program as the schedule function shows up throughout, giving you flexibility. A caveat is to be noted, you must un-install any previous versions of Norton Utilities prior to installation of this version and to run the smart update as soon as you install. There seems to be a large update from the beginning, then either update the program manually orthe program will update itself in the back ground when there is an update coming from Symantec. This program does well running in the back ground keeping function and operations clean.
You can get a free 30 trial version from Symantec's Norton Utility website. This is a very clean download from Symantec and the setup and presets were quick and easy with v15, but to be safe I checked to see if everything was set the way I wanted. I gave Norton Utilities v15.0.0.122 a 5 stars, ease of download, use, setup, and back ground function, that doesn't slow your computer down. Others may have some slowing of the computer, but that is due to the function of their computer. I'm running 16GB of RAM and an i7 processor and 2TB hard drives.
