Stay away from ANYTHING Norton. Norton produces the most intrusive, problematic stuff I have ever used. It is too bad to. "Back in the day" when PCs were new and DOS ruled, Norton was absolutely required software - about the only thing that would keep your PC running. These days, Norton has become bloatware, just like the Window OS which it purports to keep safe. Mac OS X doesn't really need an AV. The above is just my opinion, of course! My Macs: iMac 27" 3.4 GHz, Mac Pro 3.2 GHz, PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5 GHz, G4 Cube with 1.2 GHz Upgrade My iStuff: 64GB iPhone 5, 64GB iPad4, 30GB iPod Video, 16GB iPod Touch My OS': Mac OS X Lion, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac OS X Tiger, Mac OS 9.2.2, openSUSE 10.3 I was on the Mac-Forums honor roll for September 2007 |
