What Norton Utilities Ultimate is
Norton Utilities Ultimate is a paid cleanup and optimization service for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. It removes system junk, cleans files or media, and can automate maintenance on supported devices. Process controls on Windows, Startup Manager on Mac, and Sleep Mode on Android can stop apps from launching or running in the background. Its Uninstaller identifies unwanted apps on Windows, Mac, and Android; Windows also provides an Uninstall Simulator to preview impact. Browser Data removes browsing history, download history, tracking cookies, and other web data. Windows users can connect Cloud Cleaner to Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Windows Data Recovery scans hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards for lost or damaged data and attempts recovery. Data Shredder deletes files so they are not recoverable. The subscription covers up to 10 devices and costs $69.99 a year, with a 30-day trial. It is standalone, not included in Norton 360.
