Norton AntiVirus Mac 10.0 (Mac) [OLD VERSION] Reviews
I uninstalled this from all my macs and will never use it again. Luckily, I had gotten a free copy of this from work to try out. It seems to slow the whole system down, even when you set the scanning to a minimum. It was pretty obvious when Norton stopped updating Disk Doctor that they lost all interest in supporting the Mac platform. The few scans it did manage to perform never found a single virus, although the free ClamXAV managed to find several Windows viruses amongst the same files.
I was running this on PowerPC's, not even Intel machines. In the days of Mac Classic OS I used Norton products all the time, but I can't recommend any of them anymore. Every time I tried using Norton Antivirus to run a virus scan on a folder or drive, it crashed or froze. I can't believe how much Norton charges for an antivirus program that not only doesn't even function, but whose virus update subscription runs out after a year.
I feel more protected with an anti-virus program running on my Mac. It has worked and I gave it time before I reviewed the item. I used this to upgrade after I got Tiger. It stopped the worm and isolated a virus when I accidentally hit on a bad website one day. I did get a worm in my machine at one time and it was mailing out of my e-mail address book to Windows users. After that, I bought the Norton Anti-Virus program.
Nowhere during purchase do they note this significant draw-back and compatibility issue. You also can only talk to a representative by paying $9.95 and waiting. With the download, they only allow you to download during a two month period. I purchased Norton Internet Security 3.0 which includes Norton AntiVirus. The software crashed my system and gave error messages on start-up and upon runnig. After that if you would have to re-purchase the software to re-download. Only after multiple installs and 2 hours waiting for a customer service on their on-line chat, did they inform me that it does not work with OS 10. I installed on my new Macbook pro.
until I need to renew my Symantec (Norton) subscription. Therefore, I am again buying a new package via Amazon, instead of the promised efficiency of renewal support at reduced prices through the Symantec website. And it's unique to Symantec, from my experience. I honestly hope your experience is better than mine. This is the third time this type of situation has happened. I'm researching the competition now, and switching at my next opportunity. Even with the patient help of my credit card provider, I was not able to get the website to accept my information.
I've reached my limit. As an American living overseas, I handle a large number of transactions on the web with excellent results. However, the real trouble begins upon trying to renew your yearly subscription via Symantec website. The product itself works fine during the year of purchase. As the whole value of this product is based on "pay higher price with initial purchase, but then pay low annual renewal fees for future years", the inability to renew makes this a much more expensive and much less convenient product than it initiatlly appears. And it leaves the consumer no reasonable option for getting support.
I purchased this for my mac and it works really well. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a mac. I think that this product works great.
