Question 1

norton utilities ver 16, will it work with window 7  ?

Accepted Answer

It will work. I no longer really recommend using utilities in general.  Just know how to put things back before executing all the features. It can do things you may or may not like.  I'd get familiar before trying things that may lead to removal of precious data.  Always backup! Best of luck to you!

Question 2

What is the difference between Norton Utilities and Norton 360?

Accepted Answer

These are just computer utilities to keep things functioning.  Registry cleaners, drive cleaners.  Performance boosts.  Norton 360 includes virus scanning and internet protection.  This is what you want to buy if you already have internet protection and just need the performance utilities.

Question 3

Is this software just for one year and then have to be renewed??

Accepted Answer

No, unlike the other Norton products this is good as long as you use your pc. This is NOT a subscription service at all.

Question 4

I need to repair a Master Boot Record on a computer running Vista.  Will Norton Utilities accomplish this?  If not what would work short of reformatting the drive?

Thanks in advance for your time.

As far as I know, NU will not repair a MBR.  A program named Easy BCD from NeoSmart Technologies may be able to help, if you don't have other software that has altered or is controlling the MBR.
