finally a sensible comment. Seems the user here are getting younger and well u know what i mean ….

Anyway i love this site

ps. i recently got me a macbook pro but as far as norton goes i will never go near it. It was good at one time but now it IS a virus. I wish nod32 would come to osx. i rather run my system without norton for all the popup reminder, nag and so called smart functionality to be honest.

I think you’ll find that most anything that runs on linux will run on a mac. But hey, people who post their unfounded opinions on teh intarweb rule, right?

Besides, there’s no correlation between amount of software available to a platform and the number of viruses, now is there?

Virus probability = Amount of incompetent users + security of platform.

You are absolutely right…just one thing you forgot to mention and actualy the main reason why your its true what you said:
on Mac nothing to protect from viruses, it has maybe 1/1000000 amount of software available for Windows and Linux…
So, yes, sure, if you need a secure notepad with calculator, use Mac.

Norton f*cked up my Mac.

Bloody waste of time, energy, and grinning monkeys…

I might get flamed, but there’s a reason for such a product: heterogenous network environments. Think about businesses that have mac and windows workstations: Symantec can easily convince them (read decept them) that they need extra antimalware checking spots.

That’s not laptop – look closely and you’ll see he is in fact holding a bathroom tile! Not that it matters, he doesn’t seem to know the difference, which explains why he’s so happy to install Norton on it

You never have to use any memory and processor-chunking virus-app on Mac OS X!

But if I get as happy as the guy on the package, I just might buy it anyway!
