Re: Norton Not me. I bought a new Norton Utilities 8, "the world's #1 problem-solver for today's Macintosh," a year or so ago when I bought my new G5 Mac. It has never worked right. I can't even boot up the computer with this piece of trash. It told me my computer had major problems the day it was unpacked, but was unable to correct said problems. It still tells me the same thing. However, it does seem able to de-fragment the hard drive to some extent.
