Macworld's NORTON ANTIVIRUS 8.0 Coverage

Norton AntiVirus 8.0 Computer viruses are, unfortunately, a fact of life these days. And although we Mac users don't experience the onslaught of malware that folks in the Windows camp have to fight off, we're not invulnerable, and we mustn't become complacent. An antivirus program is a must. Symantec's Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh 8.0.2 is the first OS X-native release of this well-regarded protection tool, and in addition to OS X 10.1 support, this version offers improved scanning capabilities.
