Is Norton Antivirus the same for Mac &amp; PC?

Mac does not need any anti-virus. Apple store staff can explain better than I can but the Mac software is not targeted by viruses and spyware/malware. PC's need anti-virus to protect from hacking, viruses, and malware. Norton seems to have worked well for me since I've used it, but I am a very cautious internet user.

No Norton included. But you can download another antivirus software yourself. Tell the truth, I found that this Dell running Windows 8 is much better than XP. Although Dell doesn't support any new drivers, 8 can use most of its devices. The only trouble is network adaptor, you should use WIFI instead of Ethernet card.

Hello, No it does not because it does not need it. If someone is trying to sell you a anti virus program for macs, its a scam. All the anti virus programs will do is make your mac run slower. Thanks, Chris Betamacs

As far as Norton is concerned, I see no problem. However, I would check with Amazon/Kindle to see if that program is compatible with your device first.

I am not a hard core Apple man, however I have a strong dislike for the continual renewal and updates for antivirus, spy ware, trojan horses, and the like. I have not used the mac to its full potential, home use only, I still have a PC at work :/ Apple makes a very solid product and they are proud of it with pricing. I did buy the office for Mac to be more compatible on my home laptop. I have purchased two used mac laptops to use with employee training at work, again no antivirus needed :) The used one work fine for web based training. The Apple help staff are quite helpful in answering pre purchase questions or concerns. Hope this help someone.

Norton Antivirus is compatible with all computers. Make sure you follow instructions for downloading!

I'm not positive, since I use Windows 7. If Windows 8 has anti-virus protection, and I think it does, it would be called Microsoft Security Essentials. If it's installed, it MUST be removed before installing Norton Internet Security. To do so, go to the Control Panel. Then click on Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials. Once done, immediately install Norton Internet Security. Hope this helps. Tony

That just means all 3 installs must be tied to the same Norton Account. Any 3 computers, as long as they're not running Windows 8.1.

Yes, most malware programs do not interfere with Norton. As long as you keep the monitoring part of the malware program off and run scans intermittently you should be alright.

Billp studios produces Winpatrol. Many people like it, some don't. It can protect you from registry changes attempted by malware, but it also can pop up and bug you about programs that are legitimate. It is not an anti virus program though. If you really want good protection and utilities that keep things working well. Buy Norton anti virus and Norton Utilities. They are separate programs. I avoid the other Norton products, like their norton 360 etc. as they don't do as good a job and are too complicated.

I would think that it does not matter whether it is a Mac or PC at the client end. However, I never worked with Mac.

Seems so. See http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-for-Mac/Apple-OS-X-10-9-and-NIS-for-Mac-Support/td-p/1027079

No it should do what is necessary as in actuality its on upgrade. Only if you are using a completely different product, say AVG and now using Norton, then you would have to uninstall the AVG.

my understanding is that the one user, creates the account with norton and you can then put it onto two other computers as you want to in your case. they may or may not need to put in your email address. i purchased this product and didn't have to for mine. i have it installed on my two desktops and my laptop with no problems. i'm sure it will install for you and your brothers' computers too. hope this helps.

A Mac is very easy to use. Icons displayed all areas you would like to go to, just hit the icon and away you go. Never had a virus w/Mac Apple. This model is free standing with no wires exposed, wireless, great color, etc. Can't go wrong w/this product. HP is a lot harder to use, no icons. Good Luck.

I don't know about from a PC, but from a Mac, you can't do anything special! That's my big disappointment with this product - it's advertised as Mac-compatible but it is only for the most basic functions.
