Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Norton Internet Security 2.0 enables users of Mac OS X to secure their Macs from hackers and virus attacks. This suite includes the simple yet effective Norton Personal Firewall 2.0, the best-selling Norton AntiVirus 8.0, and Norton Privacy Control, which prevents private data from ever leaving your Mac. Installation is quick and easy, guiding you through checking your Mac for viruses before you install, and only requiring you to select the level of virus protection you require.
Norton AntiVirus 8.0 not only protects you from a huge list of viruses, it even scans e-mail attachments and file transfers as you download them, allowing you to stop an infected file before it reaches your computer. Keeping the application and its essential virus definitions up-to-date is made simple by the LiveUpdate feature, which allows you to download new versions manually when you are online, or at scheduled times.
Norton Personal Firewall 2.0 is striking in its simplicity. Once you have run the software installer you are protected from all forms of unauthorized access from the Internet, and that's practically all there is to it. Using Norton Personal Firewall 2.0 for the first time, it is surprising to see just how many attempts have been made to access your computer without your permission during an average session on the Net.
To optimize the information logged by Norton Personal Firewall 2.0, the package also includes Who's There? by Open Door Networks. This excellent utility reads the firewall log and provides detailed information on the access attempts that have been intercepted, along with risk ratings for the various types of attack. If you decide to take action against the would-be hackers, Who's There? will even search the online WHOIS database and draft an e-mail to the system administrator of the network from which a particular attack originated.
Norton Privacy Control gives peace of mind by preventing you from unwittingly transmitting private information such as banking details or passwords through your Internet connection. Simply type in the information that you want blocked, and Norton Privacy Control will scan all data sent from your computer and warn you if your private data is being transmitted before it ever leaves your Mac. In addition, Norton Privacy Control provides an end to those dreadful pop-up advertisements you see all over the Internet. Simply drag a pop-up window from your browser onto the Norton Privacy Control trash, and it will be blocked from displaying in the future.
Finally, iClean by Aladdin Systems provides a quick and simple way to clean out unwanted Internet-related files such as browser caches, cookies, and page history files, freeing up valuable disk space and preventing clutter.
Users of Mac OS 8 or OS 9 should note that the Norton Internet Security 2.0 package includes Norton Internet Security 1.0 for operating systems older than Mac OS X, so if you already own this version and do not use Mac OS X, Norton Internet Security 2.0 offers no new features for you.
Mac users who spend much of their time online, and particularly those with broadband connections, will find this suite of security applications an effective way of maintaining peace of mind with minimum fuss. --Daniel Jardine, Amazon.co.uk

4.0 out of 5 stars
IMPORTANT! Be careful when installing!!!!!,
By Jay Douglas (New york, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2.0 (CD-ROM)
If you have Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar), you MUST run the Norton "Live Update" IMMEDIATELY after installing, BEFORE RESTARTING. This version is NOT compatible with 10.2, and thanks to this application, I got to actually see the unshakable OS X CRASH. A rare sight with the solid new operating system. I only discovered this incompatibility after going to the Symantec website as a last resort. I was about to send the software back, and there is no free 800 number to call with questions. The information I found there is as follows, and it's easy.THIS IS WHAT YOU DO: Install the software, then quit the installer (without restarting). Look in the Internet Security folder for the Live Update icon. Double click and update the software, You will have to enter your user name and password a few times as the updates download and unstuff. Wait for the confirmation page, THEN restart, and it runs perfectly.

Good start,
By KEVIN GILLISPIE (San Francisco, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2.0 (CD-ROM)
This is a good piece of software for the home user with a continuous internet connection. Interface could be a little more Mac-like (Aqua) but its the best out there. Especially helpful in that it monitors attempts to access your system. Updates for the virus software appear frequently (try versiontracker.com) and can be automatically downloaded. Highly recommended if you're using DSL or cable modem.

Does NOT work with Mac OS 10.2 AKA Jaguar,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Norton Internet Security 2.0 (CD-ROM)
WARNING - This product does not work under Mac OS 10.2. ... I installed it on my computer and received an entire load of problems, many of which are covered in the above link, but also experienced a complete system hang up (unheard of in OS X) as well as the inability to reboot my Powerbook. Basically, the product will not work on auto, and needs to be started with every boot up (after igonring the 5 error messages you get each time you try to run it). Amazon and all other vendors of this product need to be sure that they mention this in their descriptions. I only hope I did no permanent damage to my system as a result of this attempted installation. BTW, there is NOTHING in the enclosed documentation to indicate what will happen if this product is installed. I have performed an unistall, and this product is going right back to Amazon..
