''[[PC Advisor]]'' criticized Norton Utilities 14 for delivering "little that you can't already do with Windows", although it did acknowledge that it brought two things to the table: "The registry tools, which are useful, and the performance monitor, which is interesting but not always useful."<ref>http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/index.cfm?reviewid=113853&pn=2 PC Advisor</ref>
