Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh protects against both Mac and Windows threats. It detects, blocks and removes viruses, Trojan horses, spyware and malware keeping your Mac safe against data loss and personal information theft.

Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh presents clear information about infected files when it finds them on your system including information about where they are stored, and what virus they contain.

You can also retrieve more specific information about a threat by clicking the Learn More button.

The new Quarantine feature moves potentially infected files to a safe location, so you can’t inadvertently open them. They are being kept in that location until Norton AntiVirus repairs them or identifies as safe.

For Tiger users, Norton AntiVirus 10.0 includes a new Global Threat Assessment Dashboard widget, which displays the most critical and most recent threats reported by Symantec.

LiveUpdate window is now hidden while it downloads updates – a major improvement from Norton AnviVirus 9 that lets you work normally while your software is being updated.

On top of that, Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Mac lets you perform a quick scan of a folder using the Finder's contextual menus.
