Norton Utilities has been around for years – some and some consider them legendary, similar to Norton Commander. The special feature of Norton Utilities: In the broadest sense, they are a relative and successor of the formerly popular but discontinued TuneUp Utilities. The large antivirus company NortonLifeLock, which is behind Norton Utilities, was on a shopping spree: it absorbed the antivirus competitors Avira and Avast. The brands BullGuard (joined Avira) and AVG (belongs to Avast) now belong to the group. The portfolio includes tuning products, including CCleaner (whose provider Piriform was taken over by Avast) and AVG TuneUp, which was formerly called AVG PC TuneUp (inherits the non-subscription solution TuneUp Utilities) and which is now only available as a subscription. Avast is at least one of NortonLifeLock, if the stock exchange regulator still approves.
The Norton Utilities are also the successors to PC Tools’ Registry Mechanic, a powerful, discontinued registry cleaner. Anyone who visits pctools.com today will land on the Norton website (security software).
With Norton Utilities, little is possible without depositing payment data. So we couldn’t find a way to download a free trial version. The application is available as an annual subscription for 39.99 euros. So that interested parties don’t buy a pig in a poke, we have subscribed to the most expensive version of Norton Utilities and immediately canceled it: Norton Utilities Ultimate for 39.99 euros (discounted), the regular price of 69.99 euros.
An excellent alternative: Ashampoo WinOptimizer 18
You get a good alternative to Norton Utilities with the Ashampoo WinOptimizer 18. It costs 49.99 euros – you can get it free of charge exclusively in our download area. Functionally, the application is more pompous than the Norton solution, you are spared a confusing subscription model. Norton LifeLock, however, writes that the Norton Utilities “price quoted today … for the first term of your subscription” applies. “The monthly or annual renewal price applicable to your subscription will then be billed … This price is subject to change.”

Software test: our impressions
Norton Utilities is reminiscent of TuneUp Utilities, but cannot tie in with this in terms of quality. At the top right you can see a speedometer for the system status – similar to the Pointstone Registry Cleaner.
