 It seems to work, but scanning is painfully slow February 18, 2008

I'm new to Macs, and couldn't find an integrated program of firewall/antivirus for Leopard. So I got this from Norton, and some other company's firewall. I'm waiting for them to conflict with each other, but so far so good.
NAV seems to be like all their other products: easy to install, easy to use, Live Update works well, attentive to details (this NAV automatically scans everything that comes into contact with the computer, such as a new CD ROM installing a program, or the backup drive being turned on. It's too much perhaps, but I appreciate the thoroughness even though I cancel such scans as a rule). The program is more expensive than I'd like, but compared to having a computer trashed by some idiot making a virus, I pay up.
On my first scan of the backup hard drive, it identified some virus, and dealt with it automatically. So much for Macs not being prone to viruses. And I'd been on the internet, with a firewall, for only about a day or two without the NAV running.
Hard drives being what they are in size these days, with bloatware, scanning is becoming immensely slow, measured in hours. I'm no computer geek or technowizard, but there ought to be some way to speed up the process. When you consider that one has to scan not only the hard drive but also backups now, going thru the entire system can take the better part of a work day.
So, the program works, but it's slow.

The Norton AntiVirus software is easy to install and use, runs in the back ground and doesn't seem to slow the computer speed down at all.
 Is this Software really necessary or desirable? February 7, 2008

I have reservations as to whether or not this software is necessary or desirable for a Mac user. Generally antivirus programs for the Mac cause more problems than they solve.
Norton Works Well for PPC Mac June 1, 2008

Norton AntiVirus v.11.0 works great for my PPC G5 Mac running 10.4.11. It installed without any issues, and it's cheap insurance considering all the threats on the Internet. I haven't found any viruses yet, but I do transfer files from my Win XP system - there I've found several in the past year. Bottom line - good peace of mind.
