'''Norton Utilities''' is a [[utility software]] suite designed to help analyze, configure, optimize and maintain a computer. The latest version of the original series of Norton Utilities is Norton Utilities 16 for Windows XP/Vista/7/8, released 26 October 2012.

[[Peter Norton]] published the first version for [[DOS]], ''The Norton Utilities, Release 1'', in 1982.  Release 2 came out about a year later, subsequent to the first hard drives for the IBM PC line. [[Peter Norton Computing|Peter Norton's company]] was sold to Symantec (now known as [[Gen Digital]]) in 1990 and Peter Norton himself no longer has any connection to the brand or company.
