Do not install Norton. It’s crud. Install Sophos, you’ll be happy you did. It’ll do what you need it to do.

Firewall on your Mac is great.
I’ve been running mine for 2yrs and 2mths no problem.
Well in my honest op… oh wait, we got a caps locker here. Nevermind.

use sophos for mac’s is free
your wasting money on norton
steve jobs gave you the best OS !!!
As long as you have a good password on your Mac, as long as the firewall is turned on, as long as you have file sharing turned off, you need nothing else. There are more problems with corrupted files caused by the antivirus programs out there than there are actual Macs being hacked or infected with malware.
Norton will really slow down the computer…use this freebie instead…lot’s of MAC user’s use it…….
