Laura, I've had very good success with Norton Utilities, from version 2.0 (or older?) on my Mac Plus to Norton SystemWorks 1.0 on my Bondi iMac.
However ... Norton File Saver has been empirically observed to be a problem for many Mac users. I would advise, at a minimum, trashing its preference file and then letting it run again (and trash the preference file on a regular basis). I would *really* advise just turning it off and never using it again. Once you do so, and the crashes/freezes go away, you'll know it was the culprit. Regular back-ups are better for preventing lost files than is File Saver, IMO.

Finally I was able to do a system restore by wiping the hard drive clean and reinstalling the OS. I'm back up to OS 9.1 but I have very very little of my software reinstalled (I was wanting to up the OS to 9.2 and then reinstall everything) so I would expect the machine to be running well BUT it keeps freezing up at shut down right after Norton File Saver runs. So, why might this be happening...or how can I narrow it down to find why myself? And why isnt Norton catching the problem itself? -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
