I’m never really sure if I actually need anti-virus protection on a Mac since many people say you don’t. However my belief is not that the Mac is bullet proof when it comes to viruses but that virus creators just don’t bother to try because there are more PCs and that PC viruses are easier to create. That being said when I was offered the chance to obtain a copy of Norton Anti-virus for free via the Amazon vine program I jumped at the chance to do so.

My one concern is that Norton would slow down my Mac. Norton does not seem to do this on the PCs I use but MacAfee does. Anyway my concern was unfounded as there is no perceivable difference in performance now that NAV is running.

Installation (I got the CD) was painless and I feel that if a Mac virus does come along I’m protected as well as I can be since I’ve taken all the steps that I know how to. Additionally I try to be smart about email attachments, fake websites, phishing schemes, etc.

So I’m not totally convince a person needs this but if the price is right it may make you feel more secure and give you some peace of mind.
