[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 1912620, member: 301631"] The Tech Support of both Norton and McAfee have confirmed that their products will not run on a W11 virtual machine on a M1 chip Mac. That is, with the software installed in W11. In the past I ran (at different times of course) both of these on a W10 vm using an Intel chip iMac. Norton Tech Support has told me however that by installing their product on the Mac side (Monterey), the vm will automatically also be protected. Putting aside the issue of whether Monterey needs antivirus protection or how such software effects how the Mac will run, it does not sound right to me that installing the antivirus software in Monterey will protect W11 running in a vm. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this or the technical knowledge of Monterey to know if this is true. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
