Not at this site!

Norton  Utility for the Mac is "garbage" .
There is NO tech support.
  It was designed for Windows and  "adapted(?) for macs
"They" cannot be bothered with the  ~ 5% mac user guys.

In my case, all Norton ever did was to corrupt the data on my  hard 
drives  with mucho headaches to recover.

I recovered with the following Utility software:

* <Disk Warrior> to be able to reboot
* <Drive 10 > to "optimize"
* Virerx  for virus protection/check ***

***I consider virus protection  low priority. None of publicized 
viruses have ever affected  my Macs.
  I have never experienced any virus attacks in the 10 years operating  
Mac desktops over the internet at my  home site  , from OS8  to OSX. 
But since I do own a copy,  I turn it ON every now and then.

As for the $ and cost effective issue ( you talk  like a bean counter); 
remember that in the computer Software Utility world there is no free 
lunch!
