[bigc73542]

I am already Beta testing Genesis.

[Legendkiller]

can you post a screenshot and some detail about whats all included..

[bigc73542]

sorry but I did have to sign a nondisclouser form to beta test it. So I won't be able to post any screen shots or comment on the product.
But so far I think it is going to be a good setup once out of beta and the final release is out.

Does anyone know if Norton 360 is a replacement of Norton SystemWorks? Thanks...

it says service but im still confused on what it is and how it works. would someone mind explaining it in layman terms?

[eBBox]

Its Nortons answer to McAfee TotalProtection and Microsoft Onecare.

Antivirus, firewall,antispyware, clean up tools and stuff like that.

[lodore]

clean up tools lol

it should clean up its act and not put so many registry entries before it cleans up else where =p.

i love jokes at sysmantecs expence

Not sure if it is replacing Norton SystemWorks. Since Norton Recycle Bin and Norton Utilities were missing from Norton 360. :'(
