Risk To Imac For Downloading Norton?
May 4, 2012
I am using Comcast as the internet provider for my computer.They recently sent an email saying they highly recommended downloading Norton Internet Security for Mac [Norton 360 Technology].They are offering this Security package at no charge.The reason they say they are offering this is because their "Constant Guard" has identified my computer as possibly being infected with a bot.I am fearful of installling this if it will "mess up" anything already on my iMac.
Info:
iMAC, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Just received email from Comcast and they said I should download the new Norton Security Suite which is free to Comcast users/subscribers. Do I need to do this? They said this replacees McAfee. I am using a Macbook Pro.

I am in a very sticky situation that involves the law and how much/often I can see my daughter. I have a number of text messages that are on my Nokia E65 that I need to back up on my computer. I need to know that there is zero risk of losing these messages as they can determine very important arguments in court.

I want to defragment my hard drive because it's two years old, and I create and delete VERY large files every day.
What is an application that can effectively do this with minimum risk?

When I was downloading the norton security suite, there was some problems with certain files not being "properly downloaded". Now I can't access any app or program that uses internet access. I've tried deleting and wiping the Notron program using the systemac uninstall.

My Quicken software suddenly stopped being able to connect to my bank via the Internet yesterday, giving the error message "Could not establish Internet connection with . . . check your Internet connection" Quicken support said others had been reporting the same problem recently, and it seemed to have something to do with Norton Antivirus. I uninstalled my "Symantec Solutions"/ "Norton Internet Security for Mac" applications (Norton Antivirus, Norton Firewall, Norton Confidential, LiveUpdate, and Symantec Scheduler) and the problem disappeared. I then contacted Symantec/Norton support and learned that they sent out an automatic "LiveUpdate" to their software this week that replaced everyone's working copy of "Norton Firewall" with a defective Version 4.1.0 that blocks connection to the Quicken server (and perhaps other programs?) unless the "Application Blocking" setting is manually turned off. Symantec says a patch to correct the problem will be released through "LiveUpdate" soon.

I'm running a virus/addware/etc. Scan on my Macbook, with Norton (yes I know some of you hate Norton but thats what I got back in the day so its what I'm using) and the scan keeps stopping about half an inch from completion and just sitting there. The computers fans start to run like its working too hard or something and it will not go any further. It has stopped with around 49946 files left three times in a row now. What's going on? I have tried to delete the file it keeps stopping on then it just stops in the next in line. I just got Leopard and don't want to install until I know my system is ok. On a side note what Anti-Virus is best for Macs?

Are there any programs that clear out a mac for what I used to use in windows, like the temp folder, unused programs, caches, cookies, etc. For some reason my mac has been acting a lot slower with the color pinwheel of lag coming in more and more, I only got it in October and i rarely have more than four programs open at a time.

I received my copy of Snow Leopard and I would like to do a fresh install. However, in doing this, I will lose my copy of Norton Antivirus that I downloaded from my college. I cannot get another copy of this until January as I am not currently a student. Is there a way I can save this program so that I can do a fresh install versus simply upgrading?

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro I've been getting an error message from Norton Utilities (almost) every time my computer reboots, just after I log in. The message tells me a new version of Mac OSX has been detected and I may need to update my installed Norton Utilities or Norton SystemWorks Components. consult your System Admin. However... I uninstalled Norton a while ago. I've done more than a few searches for leftover Norton files and thought I got everything. How can I get this to stop?

I used to use Norton security softwares for my windows laptop and it works perfect. However, I am not sure if it is good or necessary to use those softwares in MBP. Moreover, since my MBP is retina one, it only has 256GB SSD. So I wonder if I need to buy it.

I have a 15" Imac G4 I bought used off of Ebay. It was doing great and then I clicked to look for updates. So it downloaded a 168mb file to update 10.4 to 10.4.1 It automatically tried installing, but then said it couldn't install and that it was moved into the trash. So I took it out of the trash and dragged it on my desktop. Then when I went to turn the computer on, it only shows the grey screen!

I just recently switched to the cloud from mobile me and realized my imac didn't have Lion so I'm having to access email through internet rather than through MAIL. Before the switch, I could receive Vectorworks files via email and drag to my desktop and then open in that application. Now, the file comes in as a .vwx but I get the message "There is no application set to open the document" It then asks if I want to choose an application on my computer but it won't let me choose Vectorworks.

Why does my mac stop downloading files, copying to clipboard, saving files to desktop, etc?
iMac g5 1.9 ghz 17" running 10.5.8. Had a hard drive crash and bought a new one. Loaded new OS leapord. Everything works fine at first, but after the computer has been on for a while, it will stop downlading files, disk verify doesn't work. I can't copy and paste stuff. It seems as if the hard drive is full, but I have only used 32GB of 300GB.
When I restart, it works again, then slowly not. Is it an overheating issue? How do I know if my fan is running? Is it a bad hard drive I put in it? Bought it new with three year waranty.

I just bought a mac powerbook afew weeks ago and have been downloading different applications for it on a PC. I have tried puting these files on cd's, dvd's, and external harddrives, with no luck getting them to install when put onto my mac.
I have followed tutorials for mounting disc images on macs with no apparent results.
The files are Dmg and I'm only familiar with mounting ISO's on pc's and am not even sure if there is a difference.
I have been using magic iso and magic disc to mount and burn the disc's on my pc. Am I missing a step or is this application no good for creating discwith mac's?
Do I need to convert the DMG's to iso's?
