Symantec updates Norton AntiVirus for Leopard

| 8 Comments | No TrackBacks
We have a new chapt er in the continuing mystery of why normally astute and business-savvy companie s continually produce anti-virus software for the Macintosh ye ar after year. One of these companies is Symantec, which has just released Norton AntiVirus 11 for the Macintosh. The big new feature is th at it now works with Leopard, and adds an all-new Norton Antiv irus Dashboard widget. Whoopee. Come to think of it, the recent massive influx of virus-paranoid Windows users coming to the considerably safer Mac fold is an even bigger, fatter market to t ap, so it makes some sort of warped business sense. Symantec has been the numbe r one antivirus software product for Macs consistently since June 1998, so they have been mining this particular lode of paranoia for a pretty long time now, and is showing no sign of stopping. A 1-year license to Norton Antivirus 11 for the Macintosh is available for US$2 9.95 for download on the Symantec website , if you want it for some reason.

There a ZERO viruses for Macs which means NO issues. Now go and check Norton's
Mac support page and count the issues (tens of thousands). Bottom line: Insta
lling anti-virus software on a Mac will subject you to major problems you will
never otherwise suffer. A Windows user is a fool if they don't run AV software
and a Mac user is a fool if they do.

Thanks for sharing. That was EXACTLY what I had in mind.
