If you suspect that a virus has already infected your Mac, you can start up from the Norton CD and scan your computer before you even install the software. Installation is simple, and only requires you to select a level of protection from "No Protection," if you prefer to scan for viruses manually, to "Full Protection," which will scan all programs, files, and e-mail attachments whenever you download or use them.

If you already use Norton Utilities 6.0, then installation of Norton AntiVirus 7.0 will even add an AntiVirus button to the Norton Utilities main control screen. Another advantage of Norton AntiVirus 7.0 is the LiveUpdate feature. This allows you to check for updates to the Norton AntiVirus 7.0 application and virus definitions with a single click, or to specify times to check automatically when you are online.

Once you have scanned all the files and applications on your hard drive the first time, checking for viruses on new files that you download is so fast that you hardly notice it happening. In all, Norton AntiVirus 7.0 provides a user- friendly and extremely powerful way of keeping your Mac virus-free and protected. --Daniel Jardine
