by admin on Nov.17, 2010, under PC ( desktop ) Products, Symantec Products
Norton disk doctor is the most commonly used part of Norton Utilities. Norton disk doctor will attempt to repair all of your files and file directories upon scanning them.
Pre test scanning
There are a few things to keep in mind before running this software. Make sure to boot from another disk or the Norton disk doctor CD itself. This will ensure that the repair disk is not used by any other program.
Post test scanning
If Norton disk doctor reports any serious errors, it is recommended to scan the computer for a second time. This will ensure a complete scan process catches any multiple errors that may occur on the post-scan process. Repeat this process until there are no more errors.
Keep in mind that the initial scan will take the longest time complete. Every time you re-scan your computer, immediately after you scan it initially, the process will take less time.
This software will keep your computer working like clockwork. We strongly recommend that you try it out with a trial version. Norton disk doctor is a very powerful part of the Norton Utilities series. It is a very beneficial tool for anyone who is serious about their computer and keeping it free of problems.

Norton Internet Security 2010 vs Competition Other
Norton’s firewall is a heavy duty one which will keep users safe from external threats. It very easy to use, a simple click of the button and you are ready to go.
