Installation and configuration is simple, and once installed if Norton AntiVirus 8.0 does find an infected file it will offer to repair it if possible, or prompt you to delete the file and replace it with a clean backup copy. Once you have scanned all the files and applications on your hard drive for the first time, checking for viruses on new files that you download is so fast that you hardly notice it happening. Norton AntiVirus 8.0 includes a one-year subscription to virus definition and scanning engine updates. Simply connect to the internet and run the Live Update application and it will automatically download the latest virus definition files, protecting you from the most recently discovered viruses.

The SafeZone component of Norton AntiVirus 8.0 now allows you to designate your whole computer as a SafeZone, scanning every file saved to disk for viruses. AutoProtect can now automatically fix infected files, and most aspects of Norton AntiVirus 8.0, from downloading updates to scanning for viruses can now be scheduled to occur at specific times.

Users of Mac OS 8 or OS 9 should note that the Norton AntiVirus 8.0 package includes Norton AntiVirus 7.0 for operating systems older than Mac OS X, so if you already own this version and do not use Mac OS X, then Norton AntiVirus 8.0 offers no new features for you.

If you are looking for a complete security package for your Mac, Norton Internet Security 2.0 Mac not only includes Norton AntiVirus 8.0, but also Norton Personal Firewall 2.0 Mac and a host of other useful security and privacy tools.

In all, Norton AntiVirus 8.0 provides a user-friendly and extremely powerful way of keeping your Mac virus-free and protected. --Daniel Jardine
