I have Norton System Works 2006. Yesterday I got an error message
saying that my subscription to NSW has expired and must be renewed
(pay more money). I understand that Norton Anti Virus definitions
must be renewed after a year, but must the Systemworks that contain
all of the OTHER utilities also be renewed?

best, Aaron in Sunny but Cold N. Hollywood

What do Symantec Support say?

I gave up waiting a half hour on the phone to reach Symantec.
Hopefully someone on this Board knows the answer. Aaron

Then why are you using their products?

I ran into a similar thing. NSW has a number of nice utilities, but none,
except Ghost, are really all that critical. Unfortunately, for a backup
utility, the idea of it suddenly ceasing to work is totally unacceptible. I
also reviewed all the packaging and nowhere did it indicate that this
package was a limited term lease. That sort of sleazy tactic definitely
puts Symantec on my bad list, maybe even above Sony/BMG on my list of
disreputable companies.

Unfortunately, that leaves me without a decent image backup. I can do
incrementals easy enough a hundred different ways, but a full backup of
Winblows is a major pain. Is there a trustable (i.e. open source) image
backup for Winblows? I can probably come close by adding a Linux partition
and backing up periodically with Windows offline, but that still makes
restore somewhat more painful than Ghost, and a little riskier.
