Mac has a symantec suite for it. Mac's are still vulnerable to viruses as well.

What you meant to say is: Should install linux.

Irrelevant: the article isn't about an anti-virus product. It's like commenting about the Ford Fiesta when somebody posts an article about Transit vans.

I was just commenting non the previous post.

But if you want to be pedantic, symantec makes such a deplorable av suite that they shouldnt be trusted to make any other software.

Long point short, All symantec software is dreadful.

Since Symantec pcAnywhere is also a Mac product, then it's not completely irrelevant.
