Download Free Norton AntiVirus 11 for Apple Mac OS X Trialware

For weeks I’ve been searching for Symantec’s Norton AntiVirus 11 trialware for macintosh, and I still couldn’t find it, probably Norton knew their product would be a big letdown thus it is best not to offer any trial. Based on comments found in MacWorld, Symantec’s Norton AntiVirus 11 for Mac appears to be somewhat of a letdown, according to the comments, not only does Norton AntiVirus hog onto all the available memory, it causes frequent crashes and it took 3 hours to scan a 170GB hard disk, which is amazingly slow compare to a PC.

Anyway, according to Symantec, Norton AntiVirus 11 is the world’s most trusted antivirus solution for Macintosh systems. It removes viruses automatically, cleans infected Internet and email downloads, and defends against emerging threats. The latest version is compatible with Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger,” and comes with a widget that allows you to quickly check your system’s virus protection status. Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh 11 is only compatible with the new Intel-based Macintosh computers.

Automatically detects and removes viruses and worms
Prevents virus-infected email from spreading
Protects against attacks that target software vulnerabilities
Works with new Mac OS® X v10.5 (Leopard)
Includes an all-new Norton AntiVirus dashboard widget
Delivers industry-leading protection in the background, so you can work and play without noticeable impact on performance

Verdict: USD50 is really expensive for a piece of antivirus software; it is even more expensive when Mac doesn’t really need an antivirus to begin with. My advice? Try some of this free Anti Virus for Apple Mac! PC Tools iAntiVirus (freeware) and CalmX AntiVirus for Mac (freeware)
