Installing anti virus software

Does anyone have experience with Norton Anti Virus Software for the Mac?  I am running OS X Maveracks with a Parallels Destop 9 VM running Windows 7 with Norton 360 Security (a hold over from when I migrated to the Mac).  I am thinking I would like to install some form of Antivirus software on the MAC - Norton recommends their Norton Antivirus 12 for Mac.
Couple of questions -
1.  With the MAC OS X Is it really necessary or recomended to install Anti virus on a Mac?
2.  Does any one know of issues with compatibility issues with installing Antivirus software on both the MAC and Windows VM?
3.  Is there a single Antivirus product that can be installed which will cover both the MAC and Windows environments?
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Honestly, there's no reason to install AV software on the Mac.  When I first switched to Mac many years ago, I thought it was needed and learned afterwards that it really isn't.  I haven't had any AV software on any of my Mac for years now.
There are some that say you should have it, but it's really there to protect files/emails that you may be getting/sending to Windows users.  But that's why they need AV software in the first place!
And last, to my knowledge there are still no "true" Mac viruses in the wild.  There are some trojans and whatnot that I know of, but they all need user interaction to actually install so as long as you use good common sense, this shouldn't be a problem.
That's my opinion, however, and others may differ.

    The advantage is the susceptibility of Windows systems to viruses and passing those along.  While they may not affect, or infect, a Mac OS X systems, thy can be passed through to others.

  • Hi. I run parallels, should I install anti virus software?

    Hi
    I run parallels on my mac, should I install inti virus software on the Windows 7 I am using?

    This does not make it any more or less neccessary to run anti-virus software on the Mac itself. You must install some kind of Windows anti-virus software in the virtual machine, however, if you are going to be using the Windows system in that virtual machine to go online or deal with files obtained from questionable sources. If that Windows system can be used in isolation, then you should be okay to skip the anti-virus software.

  • I Opened A Strange Attachment, Do I need To Install Anti Virus Software?

    I have Yahoo Mail and recently received some emails from myself with strange attachments. Similar emails were sent to random contacts in my Yahoo contact list. I did not send these emails. When I changed my email password, these emails stopped. However, I'm worried my iMac G5 (OS 10.6.4) has a virus because I opened one of the attachments. Also, could a worm virus on my IMac have caused these emails? Yahoo advised me to run anti-virus software. Do I need to run anti-virus software and if so, which one? I've been reading online that anti virus software can cause more harm than good and make your mac "buggy," whatever that means.

    Yes, you read right! There are no known viruses that attack OS X and other exploits are very rare.
    It sounds like your email address is being spoofed.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoofing_attack
    This means that infected PC is going through its contact list and sending spoofed as that address.
    There's nothing you can do but alert your PC friends.
    EDIT: Are these emails actually being sent by your Mac? Check in Sent mail folder?
    If you feel you MUST run AV software to prove you have nothing , do a scan with ClamXav a mac friendly freeware app.

    Probably not necessary. There is virtually no malware affecting OS X. But it would be worth your while to read this user tip: Viruses, Trojans, Malware - and other aspects of Internet Security.

  • Shall i buy anti virus software for my MAC pro lion

    Do I need to install anti-virus software for my Mac pro?

    You do not need any anti-virus for a Mac.
    Do not download any software from the web to protect your Mac.
    Apple releases updates that will offer all the protection a Mac needs.
    Keep the software updated.
    Many in this community use ClamXav and recommend using it.
    Best.

  • Is Anti virus software, such us Norton required on iMac?

    Just setting up new iMac. Should I install anti virus software such as Norton?

    It's not needed. Moreover, you mustn't install commercial antiviruses, because they slow down the computer and they don't do anything. OS X has got its own security systems as XProtect, so you don't need anything else and you can use your computer without worrying about it. See > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg

    OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. Furthermore, they will only slow down your computer. If you want more information, read > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg

  • I have installed Microsoft Office, do I now need anti virus software

    I have installed Microsoft Office on my Macbook Air, do I now need to install a suitable anti virus software?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course not. It's still safe to use your Mac without an antivirus. OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. If you want more information about Mac OS X and viruses, see > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
    If you want an antivirus, download ClamXav or Sophos, but you don't need them. I only recommend them if you have files you will transfer to a PC

  • HT203163 I cannot access iTunes store from my laptop. I could for years but suddenly - no. Have removed all recently installed software. Have uninstalled and re-installed both my anti-virus software and iTunes. Have allowed pop-ups. Have flushed the DNS.

    I cannot access iTunes store from my laptop. I could for years but suddenly - no.
    Have removed all recently installed software. Have uninstalled and re-installed both my anti-virus software and iTunes.
    Have allowed pop-ups.
    Have flushed the DNS. Nothing.
    Still can't access the store. Please help!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Is it necessary to install an anti-virus software for mac?

    As above. Thanks.

    The only reason I have ever seen to install
    anti-virus on my Mac was to satisfy my corporate IT
    guys requirements that I am running up-to-date
    anti-virus software before putting my Mac on their
    LAN.
    I basically launch it if they want to see it, then
    close it...because its useless
    If your company's IT staff is not so bright, write up a shell script that echos stuff as if its scanning for virus. Something like
    #!/bin/bash
    echo "Scanning for virus"
    sleep 2
    echo "..."
    sleep 4
    echo "0 Virus(es) found"
    exit
    stick that in a file, chmod +x, run from terminal with 'sh files' or './file'
