Norton SystemWorks 2000 was Symantec’s all-in-one “fix your PC” toolkit that dropped right at the turn of the millennium, building on the success of the late ’90s Norton Utilities line. It wasn’t just antivirus—it bundled disk optimization, data recovery, system diagnostics, and crash protection into one package, all running on Windows 95, 98, and later ME. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife for your beige tower when hard drives were measured in MB, not GB. The 2000 release introduced smarter LiveUpdate for virus definitions and system patches, plus integrated Norton AntiVirus 2000 to keep up with the first big wave of malware. If you remember running a full system scan overnight and praying your PC wouldn’t freeze, this was the software you trusted.
