I had 10 and it was really bogged my computer down. Intego loads all the Windows viruses, too.

Were you using version 10 or 11? I'll agree that version 10 was slow. I removed it, but version 11 is very unobtrusive. Also, I use just the Norton AntiVirus. The larger Norton Internet Security suite is unnecessary on a Mac, and I imagine that would slow my computer down if I had that installed.

I've heard good things about Intego, but I'm curious if they only concentrate on potential Mac threats (of which there are very few) or if they also scan for Windows viruses? Like I said, I use Norton strictly to keep from passing on a Windows viruses.

Norton slowed my computer down to a crawl, so had to go hunting for something else. Intego turned out to be a great buy. Just in case, Norton does you wrong. :)

I use Norton AntiVirus for Mac not because I worry about viruses on my Mac, but because I have a lot of friends who use Windows (including Daryl unfortunately). I don't want to inadvertently pass on any e-mail attachments, etc, that might have a Windows virus in them.

*snicker* Funny. And even though they say you don't really need antivirus, I've been Intego's for about 2 years now just in case. The good news is that it's never popped drama on me.
