Works great on my Macs

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: One Week

Recommend Product: YES

Installed the latest version 8.0.1 update via Live Update on an external firewire hard drive boot disk running Panther 10.3.2. I also installed Disk Warrior (still not able to work with a Panther boot disk) and TTP 4 on the same partition.

I booted from the external firewire hard drive and ran Disk Doctor and Speed Disk flawlessly on my G4 MDD 867 and G4 PB 17" 1 Gigahertz machines. (I wish I could say the same for TTP 4 that crashes on virtually every test on the G4 MDD 867.. But ran OK, though slowly on my G4 PB.) I have over 1 gig of RAM on each machine.

I give Norton the highest possible overall rating for providing an excellent program and to counter balance the follow-the-leader syndrome that seems to be infecting this thread.

You miss the point. - Ellusian

Hey Ted,
You work for Symantec? If not, why do you care if the app's rating goes down when your setup might not be affected by this update but those of us posting feel the duty to warn those that might be (i.e. you say you installed on a Panther system, I was warning pre-10.3 users that the software update might corrupt their app under any OS but Panther). Your not helping, your hurting the consumer-protection intent of this thread/service.

Glad is works for you. But you missed obviously missed the point of the previous threads and maybe the point of this website.
