They look quite useful and seem to work in a short test. I am not familiar with the Norton utilities so I cannot compare. Unfortunately they are not free, but are distributed under that variant of the freeware concept which asks you to register for $40, after which they send you a copy (along with other "goodies") that has your own personal serial number. Every time a copy of yours is registered you get $10. This has some of the attributes of a classic pyramid scheme. This is not to say that the package might be worth the money, PC-TALK certainly is, but it is certainly not free software! Bob
