Any known compatibility issues with Norton Antivirus for Mac v.11

I sometimes work freelance for a company that requires freelancers to have an antivirus program on their computers regardless if they are macs.
Anybody know if there are any known compatibility issues with mac Norton Antivirus v.11 and snow leopard?
thanks

Big time. Do not, do not install anything Norton. Your system will be mucked. Comply with the company request and use ClamXav.

  • Are there any known compatibility issues with iMac and Google Chrome?

    Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with iMac and Google chrome. A Facebook friend who is a photographer posted recently that Chrome had ruined his iMac. He stead that it ran an update on itself that made safari and chrome unusable - slow running overall. In the end he had to reinstall his OS.
    Is anyone aware of this and should I un-install Chrome off my Mac?
    Thanks,
    S.

    There is nothing official but your post will attract a variety of personal experiences.   I once loaded Chrome and found myself with the dreaded MacKeeper malware, loads of pop ups and conflicts with my system.   Part of the problem is the huge range of add ons you are tempted to  take on, many of which are not as strictly tested as Apple extensions.   I would say, unless you have a specific reason, leave it alone.   The best browser is Firefox and for Macs, Safari is OK.

  • Any known compatibility issues with disabling onboard sound and using

    I have the K7 N2 board and disabled on board sound in the bios to use my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Sound seems to work fine in Windows Xp and the few games I have installed so far. My problem is with UT2003. When I try to launch the game I get the splash screen then it simply goes away. When I checked the system folder and looked at the debug log it shows the following.
    Exception code: c0000005
    Exception address: 77f51f2c 0001:00000f2c C:WINDOWSSystem32

    I am able to run UT in safe mode without sound. I yanked my Santa Cruz card and uninstalled the drivers and tried with on board but still had the same problem. Since disabling the sound allows me to play, it has to do something with either the on board or my card or some sort of incompatibility between the two. Anyone know of any issues? On a side note. If I was to wipe my drive and use the on board is the quality of the sound as good as using a separate card? Any help would be appreciated.

    Just a follow up...I figured I could spend countless hours trying to figure out why UT wouldn'l load or spend 3 hours wiping the disk and reinstalling software. The latter proved to be worth it. My preference would have been not to install any of the audio drivers at all, but since they are bundled with the system drivers there is really no choice.  The one thing I did differently was not to install the live drivers from the disk that came with my board  but rather update to the newer Nforce 2 system driver dated 2/25/2003.
    So the install went Xp Pro, Sp1, Video drivers,  newest system drivers, disable on board sound in bios, Santa Cruz drivers then UT2003 and the game loads fine. I still get the message about the game port not having enough resources but that can be ironed out.
    Hopefully this information can help someone else out who might experience conflicts going forward.
     A side note..I find that with two network cards (3Com and on board) that Xp will spend about  three mintues after it loads non responsive as it looks for the other network connection. Running the network wizard on box 1 connected to the internet and creating the network disk and running it on the other machine allowing the on board card to see the network and eliminates the painful lull after Xp load to the time I can do anything.
    Thanks for the timely responses. I'm really enjoying this board. So many options, so little time.

  • Any known compatibility issues with snow leopard and cs3 creative suite

    have leopard and want to upgrade to snow leopard..but am worried about any conflicts with photoshop cs3 and  fireworks cs3?  Does anyone use this version and have problems?

    The extracts below are from http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    I couldn't see any mention of a CS3 version of Fireworks.
    Anecdotal information is variable; some seem to have no problems, others found CS3 unusable, so it's difficult to be categorical for you. Certainly Adobe only consider CS4 and above to be fully compatible.

  • Norton AntiVirus for Mac.

    Greetings.
    I saw Norton AntiVirus for Mac in the market. Should we buy it and install it to secure our Mac?
    So far there is no virus can attack Mac OS right?
    Best regards.

    Norton is hopeless on windows, let alone on a mac. Don't bother. I run windows/mac on my macbook and have encountered several viruses all the time due to the large amount of things I download and not once has the virus crossed into my mac partition and I have rights to read/write to and from mac to NTFS and NTFS to mac partition.
    If you are that scared use Eset NOD32 through bootcamp in windows and do a complete scan on both partitions by using macdrive to access your mac partition.

  • Compatability issues with Norton

    Hi
    Does anybody know if Premiere Elements and Norton Internet Security have compatibility issues?    Premiere Elements often crashes, usually when Norton is performing background tasks.    I haven't found a way to switch Norton off so don't know if that is possible.    Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks
    Ann

    Norton is murder on a lot of programs -- and it can certainly give Premiere Elements fits.
    Unfortunately, removing Norton is a bit like removing a virus.
    Here's a tool that can do it.
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Norton-Removal-Tool.shtml
    Replacing it with Avast! Free or even Microsoft Security Essentials (also free) can free up a lot of resources without sacrificing any antivirus protection.

  • Norton Antivirus for Mac update?

    My Norton Antivirus subscription has had its year and needs updating - ie more money! There's been so much talk on this site about how useless and how NV can even be damaging, is it worth updating??
    If I don't, presumably the old outdated software will still be installed but ineffective?

    *Mac OSX and Viruses*
    There are currently no real viruses that affect OS X users. There are very small number of things that can cause virus-like behavior that can affect Macs under special circumstances. These are:
    1) [AppleScript, ASthtv05|http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/mac_trojan>
    2) DNSChanger Trojan [http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml]
    From MacWorld, January 10, 2008:
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
    [http://www.securemac.com>
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X. Called DNSChanger Trojan and also known as OSX.RSPlug. A Trojan Horse the software attacks users attempting to play a fake video file.
    Upon attempting to play the video, the victim receives the following message:
    “Quicktime Player is unable to play movie file.
    
Please click here to download new version of codec.”
    Upon running the installer, the user's DNS records are modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
    SecureMac's DNSChanger Removal Tool allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
    There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac. A white paper has recently been published on the subject by SubRosaSoft, available [here|http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174]
    3) MacSweeper:
    From [Wikipedia|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacSweeper]:
    MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008
    4) MS Office Macro viruses:
    An exception to the "no viruses" is the possibility a macro virus could be present in an Office document and you could help breed that virus if you execute an Office macro. I have my default on Office to run no macros, and always check what the macro will do before I run one (never had to in 10 years of using Office).
    5) It is possible to transfer a Windows virus to a Windows machine via a Mac if you copy the infected file and pass it on. [ClamXav|http://www.clamxav.com> is a free, open source virus scanner for Mac OS X that is designed to scan files that you will be sharing with Windows users to assist in making sure you don't pass on viruses to them.
    6) Some people have had virus-like behavior appear on web pages due to a service (DNS) supplied by their ISP having a security vulnerability. This isn't your computer but your ISP. Nonetheless, it is a security risk. If you experience strange page behavior (e.g., ads for things on sites where you wouldn't expect those kind of ads) try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click Apply. This is an alternate site for DNS which is patched against the vulnerability.
    7) If you are using an Intel Mac and run Windows on that computer (or run Windows on a PPC Mac with VirtualPC) you are subject to all the viruses that affect the PC world and should take all the precautions that a PC user would.

  • Norton Antivirus for Mac causes problems?

    On this, and other advice sites, I'm getting the message Norton for Mac causes performance problems. Is this the general consensus, and can anyone offer more info?
    I have NAV and my iMac seems slower lately...!

    Hi--
    In addition to the other advice you've already gotten, I suggest you open the Activity Monitor application from your Utilities folder and see if there are any processes that are taking up too much processor time.
    Once Activity Monitor is open, look at the CPU tab at the bottom. With no other programs open, you should see a fairly high value for "% Idle". It will vary by computer, but my iMac Core 2 Duo from two years ago shows 97 to 100% idle.
    If it's significantly lower, like 85% or lower, go to the menu at the top of the Activity monitor window and choose "All Processes" from the pop-up menu there (not "All Processes, Heirarchically"). Now click a couple of times on the "% CPU" column header until the arrow to the left header points down. The processes that are taking up the most CPU time will be at the top.
    Again, if Activity Monitor is the only program open, the values will be pretty low, like less than 5% usually. Be careful, though, about just quitting processes via that program. It might be possible to get your Mac pretty confused if you don't know what you're quitting.

  • ARP Cache Poison reported in Norton AntiVirus for Mac

    The MAC address from my new gen Apple TV is being tagged from Norton Antivirus as sending an ARP Cache Poison. Anything to care about, folks?

    DNS cache poisoning affects certain versions of named and is used by miscreants to redirect access requests to sites they control. It's likely that the warning you're receiving is a false alarm, but it could be valid if either your computer or your ATV has been compromised.
    Check Norton's web site or contact their technical support to be sure. It's not a warning I would simply ignore, as it would indicate a serious security breach if it's valid.
