I'm with Alexis on this one. In my experience over 10 years of Mac
use, I've seen systems that have been totally f**ked up by the use of
Norton Filesaver, Disk Doctor (especially), Antivirus (tip: just stop
using MS Outlook, and turn CDROM autoplay off), Systemworks, etc, on
more than one occasion. The same goes for Conflict Catcher (gah). 

The utilities I am prepared to vouch for (in OS9):

Apple Drive Setup (for formatting)
Apple Disk First Aid (first port of call)
DiskWarrior 
TechTool Pro

In OSX, I have had no need of anything like that, and I suspect that
3rd-party vendors of such tools who allege OSX-support are simply
dreaming - Unix is a whole new reality for them.
