 Norton Internet Security Mac 3.0, 2007-10-17
Not until I was installing NIS Mac 3.0 on my new iMac did I receive install errors indicating that only a limited portion of the suite works on an intel-based iMac. The intel iMacs use OS 10.4. The older powerPC Macs use 10.3. The small print on the box indicated it was for OS 10.3 but the Amazon specs only indicated compatibility with OS 10 Macs. No updates/patches fixes are out on the Symantec website (as of 10/15) for use of this product with OS 10.4, yet intel iMacs have been shipping for 9-10 months now. Symantec is off on this one. I have mailed-off for the 60-day money back guarantee from Symantec as a dissatified customer.

Fraudulent Advertising, 2006-03-20
This product, which is being advertised by numerous vendors for use with OSX, no longer works with current versions of OSX (from 4 up for sure).
Norton has stated publicly that they are no longer providing upgrades for
Mac related software such as Firewall and Network Privacy.
Their Antivirus V10 works with OS 10.4, but in view of their stated policy on other Mac products, one may question whether they will continue to upgrade Antivirus in the future.
Intego products do work with current versions of OSX.

Total crap!!! , 2006-02-18
I bought this package after upgraded my PowwerbookG4 to Tiger in Sept. 2005. The Autoprotect and Firewall never worked. The Symantac Co admitted this probelm in their website and never offered a solution for these problems. A piece of junk!!!

Fraudulent sales at it's worst, 2006-02-04
I purchased this back in August '05 at the same time that I bought my new iMac running OS 10.4 Tiger. It's advertised, and lists system requirements as Mac OS 10.1.5 OR HIGHER. Didn't work since it was installed. Waited and waited for the patch or update to allow it to work with OS 10.4, low and behold, they recently just posted a buried footnote on their site saying that it IS NOT going to be updated to work with OS 10.4. Tried to contact their customer service....still waiting for a response. (...) I was a repeat customer of Symantec products...this is the last money they'll rip me off for! Where is the class action lawsuit? Sign me up.

Getting rid of Norton, 2005-10-11
Those upgrading to OS X 10.4.x from an earlier version, and who have already installed Norton products under the old OS, can remove them by means of a Unix-based utility that finds and erases Norton files, including the invisible ones. They would be well advised to do so, since older Norton products don't work with 10.4, and interfere with the functioning of the built-in firewall. There are several such utilities posted on the web. The one distributed from the Kenyon College site works perfectly, and can be found via Google.
The built-in firewall can be turned on via the "Sharing" menu in the Control Panel.
As far as anti-virus protection goes, that's an entirely theoretical issue as far as Macs are concerned. Anyone who wants to go down that road would do well to explore the various on-line Mac forums before deciding.
