Do not use it on your Mac operating system.
Norton Antivirus has a very long and well-known reputation for mangling Mac OS X, from time to time to the point where a entire reinstallation is required. Among other things, it installs kernel extensions that are known to cause kernel panics and system hangs. It contains known and documented bugs that can silently corrupt Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign files, destroy the ability of a user validate as administrator, and can cause Classic to stop working, and Symantec has at least two occasions, now free of defects. dat file updates certain critical report by mistake Mac OS X files as "virus".

I am using this Norton Security Suite from the last week and till now I have not faced any kind of problem.

PC Tools iAntiVirus guard against malicious software that Mac, including viruses, worms, trojans, spyware and adware. Unlike some antivirus Mac, PC Tools iAntiVirus does not cover malicious software based on Windows, which reduces costs and impact of low system performance, but can not be the best bet in a mixed Mac / environment Windows. IAntiVirus PC Tools is free for home (and home office) use and currently supports Intel Macs running OS X 10.5 only. One option discreet and efficient Mac antivirus software dedicated to Mac users will want to try.

I you want to use the antivirus software then I will suggest you to use PC Tools iAntiVirus

First, if you are using Mac operating system then there is no need to user the antivirus software and if you are using McAfee antivirus software then continues to use it.
