Review by Crestviewer

I’ve used Norton security products for PCs before, and I’ve just started using it on our Macs.

My Norton experience on PCs (of a couple of years ago) was mixed. The machines didn’t have virus issues, but they seemed to get bogged down with Norton scans and such. Full virus scans could only happen when I didn’t need to do anything else with the machines as they become unusably slow.

Thus, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how smoothly and quietly Norton for Mac takes care of things. It doesn’t bog things down as far as we can tell. The installation was easy, and the application appears to run smoothly and stay in the background with just the occasional notification / question pop-up to respond to.

Even the thorough, file-by-file virus scan zips through smoothly and essentially in the background.

Most importantly, we’ve not had any virus-related issues while this software has been deployed. I suppose that’s the most critical topic, but it should be noted that our Mac went about nine months without any virus protection before we installed Norton…and never had an issue.
