 GoBack - does it cause hard disk churning (?), 2006-05-29
After I installed GoBack 4 on my new computer, the hard disk spent all its time churning away non-stop. I managed to "disable" GoBack. It took three hours to remove its "history". But now my hard disk is back to normal. It sits quietly, doing nothing unless I'm accessing it. Is it possible GoBack was keeping the hard disk in action, searching for changes, and saving constantly?

 have used it for 5 years, 2006-05-09
i have used this program on 5 different computers over the past 5 years so I do like it. It will set your computer back to exactly the way you left it.Forget about viruses and poorly made software you installed.
There are some caveats though. If you need to reformat or re-install windows, disable Goback first or you will have trouble. Also, if you have a compter like I do which has the instant on DVD feature, don't use Goback. GoBack will work but you won't be able to boot into the instant on feature.

I lost all my data on the drive, 2006-05-08
Goback locked up the system shortly after windows started. I could not do anything but power cycle the system. After that, Window would never boot. Even after reinstall the Windows, all the drives were no longer recognized. A lot of critical information was lost. Heed the advice: don't install it even if it is free.

Danger, danger, danger - do not install this software!, 2006-05-03
This product is absolute rubbish - made my brand new PC impossible to boot. Even screwed up the PC manufacturer's fail-safe system recovery partition! Had to spend 7 hours recovering the hard drive and re-installing everything, ironically just the scenario that GoBack is supposed to prevent. Symantec support were not contactable! How can a company with Symantec's reputation allow this product out without a serious health warning?? Install GoBack at your peril!!! This is the last time I trust Symantec.

Keep your reciept. This product will need to go back., 2006-02-22
Installed on a Pentium D 3.0 Ghz with 320 hard drive. Everything had been peachy keen since I got the box a month ago. I installed the Norton suite amd turn on Go Back and mysteriously my hard drive dissapeared when I tried to start up the next time. Poof. Gone. I had to reformat and reinstall windows xp Media edition. At the time I didn't attribute it to this virus packaged as a helpful program. So I reinstall everything, for the past week, preformance has been degrading. Slower and slower. I am currently laughing bitterly at the box it is on because on boot at 4:20 pm eastern, Norton went all crazy and decided to GoBack! It is now 6:50 pm. I took a nap. The damn things is at 76% and has been there since I woke up. I am questioning if I should just turn the box off now. Possibly the worst software I have ever intentionally installed.
