Is Symantec Anti-Virus good for Mac?

I have a free download from my school, but I have read articles that say that Symantec software slows your computer down, along with other problems.Also, they say not to waste your money, but since I have a free download, I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't.

you have a mac.



no point for anti-virus software (yet).



most likely it won't even be compatible.

No need for spyware antivirus software for mac's. If you really want one check out AVAST, one of the best I ever used. norton would be one of my least favorites.
Oh no no no, why are you putting that garbage on a Mac?



Yes Symantec is garbage (ex-windows user here) and I've seen how it tears up a PC so I can only imagine the havoc it would bring upon a Mac.



Also, I've never needed anti-virus/spyware/malware on my Mac and my understanding is that most other Mac users haven't either.



You get what you pay for... free downloads aren't always worth it.
there are less than 50 total viruses for the mac platform most have been patched by apple and basically none are still active. you do not need any antivirus protection on a mac
i have norton 360 its ok and cost to much but i have windows i have heard it takes alot of memory to but its about avrage
I had it, and to be quite honest, it didn't slow my computer down, it was just a pain in the *** ''scanning'' ,and if you don't have the new operating system with spaces it takes up desktop space, if you know what I mean.



Macs are immune to viruses most of the time anyway, so I wouldn't install anything on my computer I didn't need. When I had it the first time I was coming from a Windows computer. So many viruses aimed at that poor operating system... so many anti-virus programs.



I even asked a Mac genius at their store who told me they didn't have it on their computer, so coming from him, I didn't worry.
you dont really need an anti-vurs for mac.



Most of the virus attacks are on MS thats is versions of windows. Infact almost all attacks..
