Norton AntiVirus version 10

Mac G5 2 GHz version 10.4.4
Everytime I restart or start up Norton AntiVirus's Liveupdate screen box appears. How can I turn this off before restart and start up. Please advise me.

There should be a pref, either in your menu bar extra or in System Preferences that will allow you to de-activate it. Here is what the Symantec support site has, I see you can uninstall the feature... I didn't check all the articles.

  • Norton Antivirus 10 worth it?

    A friend of mine has offered to lend me a copy of his Norton AntiVirus version 10. My question is, is it worth it? i owned version 9 on my previous 12" PB and it was even a nightmare keeping it at arms lenght but i'm thinking maybe they improved version 10 any ideas?

    This fall, Macworld did a review of Norton Antivirus 10, and gave it pretty good marks. They had previously reviewed Norton 9, and given it lower marks.
    FWIW, I use ClamXAv, which is free, but requests a donation (which I did). I have it do a weekly scan, and so far it's only found problems in my mail, ie, Windows virus and phishing. I would recommend it, as it works well.

  • Recovering trial version of Norton antivirus

    I lost my trial  version of Norton antivirus, which i got on purchase of T61. Please tell me the way using which i can recover it.

    Not trying to be a smart-alec, but why would you want that back? It is terrible.
    Go get one of the free anti virus programs out there. They are much easier on your system and catch more viruses than Norton Antivirus (not to be confused with Symantec Corporate antivirus which doesn't suck)
    Edit: If you want a trial version of something get Nod32. It is worth paying for.

  • How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?

    How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?
    The Norton uninstaller is a PPC native app and Lion won't run it.
    Thanks.

    You should run the removal applicaiton that came with your installation. Read this from the Norton web site..https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?product=No rton+for+Mac+Products&version=current&lg=english&ct=united+states&pvid=f-mac&doc id=v64924250_EndUserProfile_en_us/
    Norton AV 12 for Lion is available online.
    If you want an AV program compatible with Lion then look at Intego Virus Barrier 6.

  • Norton Antivirus screwed up settings-Any Help?

    Hi all,
    I finally figured out what is messing with my settings in my ibook G4. It has Norton Antivirus on it. I bought it used and the first owner had put it on there. The problem is whenever I try to view a picture or secondary part of a web page, it won't display. Example, if I go to a page and click on a picture that is supposed to show you a bigger image or details, it won't display. It doesn't really matter what type of format it is, Norton is stopping it. I tried to turn off the Norton thing, but it won't turn off. Does anybody have any idea how to neuter this Norton program from my ibook G4 (10.3.9) PowerPC 1.07gb chip. I am leary of upgrading the OS to Tiger until I tame this Norton thing. Then I will upgrade. I already have the disks.

    Hello thomjw,
    I have been in a similar situation, not fun. The reason I am part of this community, came to find some info regarding the funky behaviour of my system, & found out the culprit was Norton Antivirus fo Mac version 9.0.
    You will need an uninstaller to do it right, go the the Norton Symantec site to look for one . It was updated, the one bundled with certain versions does not work. I am not sure if you will need the CD to do it, however Just pulling the application to the trash does not do it. Make sure it is for the version of Norton that you have. This would of been best posted in the forum:

  • 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.

  • How do I remove Norton Antivirus?

    I have a full version of Norton Antivirus. I had my suspicions last year when my MacBook acted funny and it caught a virus from 2 files that came from my PC. Well, I had OS X Tiger then and installed Norton Antivirus. Now I have Leopard and no longer want Norton Antivirus. My question is how do I remove Norton fully from my MacBook? I don't want any applications or any apps running in the background from Norton. Please help! Thanks

  • 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 disabling ethernet on T42

    Twice I have attempted to upgrade Norton Antivirus to version 2008.  On each atttempt, during the install Norton is disabling (removing) the ethernet adapters.  (Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile).  Has anyone else experienced this?  What are the steps to prevent this from happening?

    Welcome to the forum!
    Something similar has happened to me a couple of years ago with an earlier version of Norton. I can't walk you through resolving the problem, but my resolution was to un-install it and replace it with a different anti-virus program.
    Good luck.

  • Why won't Norton AntiVirus 10.0 install on my PowerBook G4?

    I have a PowerBook G4 and have installed OSX 10.4.7 for PPC. I am now attempting to install Norton AntiVirus 10.0. The error message I get is: "...Software requires Mac OS X BSD Package." My PowerBook G4 does not have an Intel process (pre-Intel). I cannot figure out why it won't let me install the software. I don't even really know what a "BSD Package" is, or how to get it. However, I don't think I need it since it relates to Unix.
    ANY ASSISTANCE?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi, hawaiimele.
    1. You wrote: "... have installed OSX 10.4.7 for PPC..."Have you:(a) Just upgraded to Tiger from Panther or Jaguar? Or...
    (b) Were you running 10.4.6 and installed the 10.4.7 update?Which is it?
    With Tiger, the BSD Subsystem is installed by default. In previous versions of Mac OS X, it could be omitted from the installation process by deselecting it in a Custom Install.
    2. As a general checkup, I suggest you run the Procedure outlined in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified. I suggest this as directory corruption may make it appear that the BSD Subsystem is missing.
    3. Does your Mac meet all the system requirements for installing NAV 10, in particular the RAM and free disk space requirements?
    4. As FYI, I've been running NAV 10 for Tiger since it was released without problems. The "advice" you've received against this product is nonsense. See my "Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware" FAQ for my recommendations as well as a list of some recent Mac OS X security threats that have emerged, including Trojans, rootkits, and spyware. The FAQ also addresses some of the usual arguments against installing an anti-virus solution that often arise in discussions of this topic.
    While some people believe that anti-virus solutions are not required on a Mac, I think they're ignoring the fact that threats are emerging and that security exposures continue to be found, albeit eventually closed, in Mac OS X, as in any other operating system. Even Apple now recommends that one should "check for viruses."
    Good luck!

  • Rosetta and Norton Antivirus

    I wanted to install Norton AntiVirus software on my MAC last night because I work in a mixed environment and don't want to risk getting some crap on my MAC. I plan on installing Parallels to run Windows. Anyway, when I went to install it I was informed by Symantec that I need to load something called Rosetta for their software to install. I attempted to load Rosetta from my MAC OS disc and got an error message basically stating that it could not load it because I had a newer OS version than what is on the disc. I'm running 10.6.3 and the most current is 10.6.4. So I try to download and install 10.6.4 from Apple and I have failed repeatedly to download the 900+ MB file. I'm using a hardwire connection from Roadrunner. I get to just under 800mb and it chokes. What is the best way to get around this?
    Personally, I think it is absurd to expect anyone to download a file that freaking huge. There has to be a way to chunk up this download. Any ideas are welcome!

    I echo what has already been said (and thanks for the plug, Richard), but to answer the specific issue of installing Rosetta, I would bet that you already have it installed, which is why you're having trouble installing it from the Mac OS X install disk. Look through your Applications folder, and do File -> Get Info on any old apps. If any of the apps you know run just fine say "Kind: Application (PowerPC)", you've already got Rosetta installed.

    LOL, that's life these days. If you're on a slow connection, or one with limits on downloads, you can try a public wireless connection somewhere - like a library - instead.

  • How do I uninstall Norton AntiVirus so I don't get msg after startup?

    Last year I received an iPod Nano, and then found out I needed to upgrade my OS because my version of iTunes wasn't compatible with the Nano. Ever since I've been getting a msg saying to reinstall Norton AntiVirus after I startup. I have a 2003 iBook G3 (and I don't know where I put the disk to reinstall). I've tried to drag to the trash the applications, including the startup items from the library, but nothing has worked. And apparently you can't trash some Norton AntiVirus items because "they are in use". How can they be in use if they need to be reinstalled? How do I get this app off my computer so it doesn't pause on the reinstall msg each time??
    This is part one of a two part dilemma...

  • Incompatible software - Norton Antivirus 11

    Hi,
    Is the latest version of Norton Antivirus compatible with Snow Leopard? As of November 2009, according to the Apple Support website, the answer is no. But, on the Norton website, Norton says the latest version of Norton Antivirus (released in early 2010) works with SL.
    Has anyone been able to use the latest Norton software with Snow Leopard? If not, is there any antivirus software that works with SL?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    http://community.norton.com/norton/board?board.id=norton_mac
    It should be. There are problems with Mac Pro.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2382623&tstart=0
    Ignore the lecturing.
    The biggest problem I see is that you have to install NAV and then use Live Update. There is a new Norton Internet Security 4 ($79, seems awful high).
    http://www.symantec.com/norton/macintosh/internet-security
    If you need something or want to, there is Intego but it feels "heavy" on system (not sure if v6 is lighter), and now Kaspersky ($39 AV only)

  • ;jsut upgraded firefox 4 and pop up said that my norton antivirus is no compatiblie; what can I do?

    jsut updated to firefox 4 and pop up window said my norton antivirus is not compatiable wit hthis version. what can I do?

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    First, save any work such as draft email messages. Then:
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Clear your Yahoo cookies and then try reloading the page. You probably will need to log in again.
    Does that help?

  • I updated and couldn't connect, but I found my culprit, Norton Antivirus.

    Three weeks ago I updated my i-tunes to the new 6.03 version and I couldn't to the music store since then. Today i got on the support and services web page and keyed my problem. They said, among other things, to make sure there aren't any third party virus scan programs on your computer. So I disabled Norton Antivirus fro half an hour and now it works.

    I think I have the exact same problem. I've discabled Norton Antivirus too and reinstalled and tried to use itunes but it didn't work. You said you disable for 30 minutes. After that what did you do. When you launched itunes and it went directly to the music store did you get connected right away or did you have to wait for a while in that 30 minute disable period?? Thanks!
