My solution to it is: don't use anything by Norton or McAffee. AVG Free!

This just in:

Literally almost a dozen Norton users wait for answers ...

I just got a PC for the first time in years and immediately deleted all Norton from the computer.

I'm using Avast!, another free program as well and it seems to be working ok

Oh just wrap your desktop in tin foil and it will be fine...

Norton released a statement on there site.

Regardless if everything is as they say, I don't think it's a trustworthy company. There whole role out of the Norton for Mac included supposed vulnerabilities to the Mac that you could only trace there existence back as far as Norton's press release. Reviews of the product called it the worst thing you could do to your mac.
