Chas,
I thought TechToolPro was good.
I agree, and so does Apple -- they licensed a version of it as "Apple
Hardware Test."
> I do realize that Norton had some
problems with Macs earlier on, but thought by now they'd licked all
the problems.
Nope. And of course now they've given up entirely and discontinued
utilities.
Can you be more specific?
Yes. Specifically, the root-level files Norton installs -- "Filesaver"
and a bunch of daemons to control it -- cause more problems than they
fix. Ditto the virus protection, etc.
Also, their directory repair is poor and destroys data other utility
programs need. DiskWarrior even has a message that says something along
the lines of "We cannot repair this directory -- some other program
(Norton) has tampered with the directory structure."
This warning is like saying
"Don't trust [insert politician of choice]
You need reasons for not trusting a politician? What part of
"politician" are you having trouble with?? :)
Cheers
Chas
