Norton Cleanup lets you free up space on your computer while protecting sensitive information and helping to maintain your privacy. This feature lets you quickly and safely delete files that accumulate after you browse the Internet and perform other computer activities.You must have Administrator access privileges to clean up temporary operating system files.

Norton Cleanup only gets rid of the files that you want cleaned up. Use Norton Cleanup Options to specify which items you want to save.
With Norton Cleanup, you can do the following tasks:
- Use Express Cleanup to immediately remove clutter from your PC.
- Use Custom Cleanup to view individual files and other Internet items and choose which ones to save or delete.
- Use Norton Cleanup Options to update the list of favorite Web sites and to select which related items you want to save during cleanup activity.

Norton Cleanup works with files that are associated with Internet Explorer.
 
Optimize Disk analyzes local disks and consolidates fragmented files and folders in contiguous space on the disk. After Optimize Disk analyzes a disk, it generates an Analysis Report. It also recommends whether disk defragmentation is required or not.

Use the Disk Optimization sensor in Norton System Doctor to monitor your disks' fragmentation levels. When disks become too fragmented, Norton System Doctor can notify you to run Optimize Disk.

Defragmentation is the process of rearranging the way that files are organized on a disk so that the data that comprises each file is stored in adjacent or contiguous disk clusters.

Optimize Disk checks the disk for errors before defragmentation proceeds.You must have Administrator access privileges to run Optimize Disk. The Analysis Report helps you to determine the fragmentation level of a disk.
 
When one of the Norton Utilities tools detects a problem with your computer, it displays a message. These messages, which are called alerts, may appear when you are running other programs and Norton Utilities detects a problem.

For example, if Norton System Doctor finds a problem, it displays a red light sensor. Alerts do not appear unless you set the sensor properties to Display Alarm Message.

Run Norton Disk Doctor often to keep your hard disk free of accumulated errors. Frequent defragmentation of your disks improves the performance of the scans that Norton Disk Doctor conducts. However, if you suspect that your disk has problems, do not defragment your disk until you have corrected them with Norton Disk Doctor.

Norton Disk Doctor checks the following parts of your hard disk:
- Partition table
- Boot record
- Folder structure
- Compressed disks
- Customized tests

When Norton Disk Doctor finishes testing your disk for errors, it displays a summary of test results, which include any problems that were found, and whether repairs were made.

You can also view and print a report that includes detailed information about the examined disk and the repairs that were made. The detailed report can help you track recurring disk problems.

The Norton Disk Doctor report is not available if you are using a version of Norton SystemWorks that is in a different language than your operating system.

Norton WinDoctor can create a log file of all the changes made to Windows during a repair session. The log file is not the same as the Repair History, which you can use to review and reverse repairs. Norton WinDoctor displays an easy-to-read report of the problems that it found. Problems are listed by problem type in the order of severity.

One Button Checkup scans your computer with a collection of diagnostic tools that cover the most critical computer activities. If you use Norton AntiVirus, One Button Checkup also covers virus protection.

You can run One Button Checkup whenever you think that you may have a problem, and to ensure that your computer is performing to its optimum capability. You can customize One Button Checkup to specify which scans should run, and schedule automatic checkups. You can view a history of repairs that were made by One Button Checkup, and export the repair history as a text file in case you need further diagnostic analysis. You can also undo a repair if necessary.

When Norton SystemWorks is installed, One Button Checkup is scheduled to run a weekly scan. If One Button Checkup finds any errors, it prompts you to fix them. You can set One Button Checkup schedule options to run specific scans and to repair any problems automatically.

Wipe Info erases files or folders from your hard disk so that they cannot be recovered. Wipe Info can also wipe the free space on your hard disk.

When you wipe a file, Wipe Info wipes the file and attempts to wipe any free space that is associated with the file. When you wipe a folder, Wipe Info wipes all of the files in the folder. When you wipe free space, Wipe Info wipes the free drive space, free file space, and erased file entries.

Windows XP System Restore can restore files that have been wiped if they are one of the protected file types. By default, many document types, such as .doc and .xls files in My Documents, are protected. Windows XP System Restore maintains copies of protected files. Wiping the original file does not wipe the copy that Windows XP System Restore maintains.

Windows Vista Volume Shadow Copy creates point-in-time copies of files as you work. This allows you to easily retrieve versions of a document you may have accidentally deleted. When a restore point is requested, a shadow copy of a file is created. When the system needs to be restored, files are copied from the shadow copy to the live volume that Windows Vista uses. When you wipe the original file, you do not wipe the shadow copy that Windows Vista maintains.

Wipe Info eliminates a file's contents from the disk, but does not remove the file name. While the file name remains on disk, it is no longer visible in Windows Explorer, and there is no data stored with it. On NTFS volumes, streams (alternate data that belongs to a file but is not stored with the file) are also wiped.

Never store sensitive information in a file name or attribute. This data can be replicated throughout your system without your knowledge, for example, in a list of most recently used files, or a file name search. This type of embedded information can be very difficult to remove from your computer.
