Question

is it compatible and it is just to be safe

Answer 1

Norton sucks! ClamXav is a free Mac Antivirus.

Answer 2

In a word, no. A mac really doesn't need it. Unless, that is, you've partitioned your hard drive and are running a copy of windows alongside your Mac OS. Or, you're purposefully downloading b.s. codecs from porno sites in an attempt at free video s**t. In which case, yeah, but I'd personally go with Kaspersky over Norton. And remember, no antivirus program is going to save you from yourself.

Answer 3

First, Norton products are terrible.  Second, you should be fine i wouldnt bother.  If you really want to get something i would recommend McAfee.

Answer 4

Safe from what? There are no released MacOs X viruses. There are a couple malwares (fake p**n viewer, fake poker game, fake anti-virus). Just don't download and install anything from sites you don't know about.
