Disk utilties for X

[Jane Sprando]

Speaking of Disk Warrior, other than Tech Tool Pro, I have not bought
another disk utility for OS x. I can upgrade Norton Utilities or buy Disk
warrior.

So ..... which utilities are the most valuable: TechTool Pro, Norton
utilities, or Disk warrior?

Virus protection: Symantec NAV, Mcafee, or Virex?????
