Is there a way to get Norton GoBack or a program like it?

Purchase Norton SystemWorks, and buy a good PC.

i mean, like for free. i'm not buying anything online or probably at a store either.

 

[talldude123]

i'm saying he needs a good PC, because Norton is a memory guzzler...its the SUV of programs...

All i know is that a competitor of Norton is Panda so check them out and see if you can find anything (anything made by panda is better than Norton). Buy a HP pc next time because they contain a special feature that will allow your computer not to "mess up" when you are restoring a portion of the computer.

Whoa Whoa Whoa

If you are running Windows XP, why not use system restore. If you are running linux or some other version of windows, I would suggest Symantec Ghost, available on the Ultimate technicians CD V 3.0 for free

With those tools, you can set a "state" in which to go back too if something messes up. Draw back - you will have to set a new state if you add something you like/want to keep.

As for HP, that only restores your system back to factory settings. Fine and all, but What if you want to experiment with programs but not take the 16 hours or so it would require to use the system restore disk AND add all your favorite software/settings.
