I've used a lot of mac antivirus apps over the years and I haven't found one I can stand on the mac since the OS 8 days. It's CPU-friendly (as all programs like this should be since OS X supports prioritizing of processes). Good thing about it is that it's unobtrusive, and a much more low-key interface. It's caught a couple viruses that were thrown on my flash drive by infected PCs I'd worked to clean up. If you or your clients want a decent antivirus that just plain works, Kaspersky released a mac version of their antivirus and I have been using it. I agree Norton is terrible for the user, but good for my business. I am an Apple Consultants Network (ACN) member. So thank you from a user who very much appreciates your taking the time to share your experience, and better yet, a solution. The terminal command executable, in which you provided a link, was not included with NIS, which would have saved me, and probably countless others bringing their computers into the Apple store, a boatload of time. Didn't put two and two together until I read your post.
Norton antivirus mac os x 10.5 software#
Interestingly, at least to me, my problems didn't begin until AFTER I removed the software (using the supplied uninstaller that came with Norton Internet Security (NIS)). Previously we only got a "sorry," which wasn't very Comcastic. I don't blame Comcast as I'm surprised that they even deemed us Mac users worthy of an Internet security suite. Norton should be ashamed for releasing such under-baked software. I followed your instructions and now it's starting up as my dependable Mac has always done. symbol for no on startup, and using single-user mode (command+s during startup) said it couldn't find the 'root device.' I honestly thought my primary HD had s*&% the bed.
Imagine stumbling across this 'hint,' which I would classify as a lifesaver. I got so desperate I wouldn't shut down and only put the computer to sleep during my off-hours. THANK YOU kylegeek! This has been driving me nuts for two weeks now, and only by a fluke of random start-up key combos was I able to get my computer to boot.
