Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This exciting software package combines Norton AntiVirus 9.0 and Norton Utilities 8.0 for Macintosh.

Norton AntiVirus 9.0

Symantec’s Norton AntiVirus 9.0 for Macintosh is the world’s most-trusted antivirus solution for Macintosh systems. It automatically removes viruses, worms, and Trojan horses from email attachments, Internet downloads, and other sources--without interrupting your work. Now it can even detect and repair infections within file archives. Not sure whether a file is infected? Norton AntiVirus places suspicious files in a special quarantine area of your hard drive to protect your system until you can find out more about them. Not only does Norton AntiVirus 9.0 for Macintosh detect Macintosh and macro viruses, it even finds and removes PC viruses to ensure that you don’t spread infections to friends and colleagues. Symantec’s exclusive LiveUpdate technology helps protect against the latest threats by automatically checking for new virus definitions and downloading them to your computer over the Internet. LiveUpdate now downloads only the definitions you don’t yet have, so updates are small, fast, and efficient. Viruses and other malicious programs are an unfortunate fact of computer life. Don’t leave your valuable data vulnerable a minute longer. Protect it today with Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh.

Norton Utilities 8.0

Symantec’s Norton Utilities 8.0 for Macintosh maximizes your computer’s performance. It finds and repairs disk problems at the click of a button, and can alert you to potential problems before they cause trouble. Lost a file through a disk problem or accidental deletion? Norton Utilities can rebuild damaged disks, then help you identify and recover vital files. It also improves hard-drive performance by defragmenting and organizing files more efficiently. Now all components run natively on Mac OS X, and you can boot the Norton Utilities CD into either Mac OS X or Mac OS 9 during disk emergencies.

Features:

• New--all components are now Mac OS X native.
• New--the program CD boots into Mac OS X or Mac OS 9 to repair your hard disk, optimize files, and recover data.
• New--Wipe Info permanently removes sensitive information.
• New--you can schedule Speed Disk defragmentations to run at a time of your choice.
• New--the virtual disk function in Volume Recover allows you to quickly view the files you want to restore.
• Norton FileSaver and Volume Recover help you recover files from a wide range of built-in, portable, and removable storage media.
• Hierarchical recovery in UnErase lets you retrieve entire folders as well as individual files.
• Speed Disk allows you to create custom optimization profiles for digital video, MP3 files, games, and other specialized purposes.
• LiveUpdate downloads program updates and patches over the Internet to keep Norton Utilities up to date.
• You can schedule Norton FileSaver scans and LiveUpdate checks for whenever you want.

1.0 out of 5 stars Slow, slow, slow, errors. Aughh! :(, July 14, 2005

This review is from: Symantec Norton Antivirus 9/Utilities 8 Bundle (CD-ROM)

I purchased this combination for a new iMac running OS X.4. It is very slow (both AntiVirus and Utilities). AntiVirus brings up an error everytime the computer starts saying it needs to be re-installed which has been tried and did not change the error message. I hope I never need to start the computer from Utilities, because I did that once and it took 45 min to start up, and 60 min to shut down (actually, I got tired fo waiting and turned the computer off by holding the power button until it shut down.) I'm tempted to just take these off my computer, but in the past I've had Mac viruses, and found Utilities to be helpful. I haven't found these two current products useful yet.
