Norton Liveupdate does not work with Rev 2
Well at least it doesn't seem to work for me but it was ok in Rev 1. It doesn't crash but it acts like it's downloading updates but does nothing. Anyone else using Norton AV Ver 11?

Norton AV, what for? I don´t need antivirus in mac.
I have Norton with me just in case you never know the next cyberspace virus arrives for both pcs and mac, LOL, especially when Macs are pc-supported
this is why people choose mac over windows - less issues, more security, and fewer backdoors… but thanks for the laughs
I'm using clam, mcafee, and x barrier, just kidding, I used to until I crashed my mac. aww =(
I never used and never will use any antivirus clients, neither for Linux nor Mac. It's a waste of resources!
I've been using Macs since the late 1980's and have never once seen a 'real world' virus for this platform. If you're worried about potential infection of a Windows drive, then opt for the free and open source ClamAV as mentioned above.
Honestly, running applications such as Norton is a huge waste of time and resources.
That's one of the main reasons I've changed my main OS.
