Symantec Problems?

Which version of the antivirus are you using (ie: 10.2)?

Do you NEED to have this particular antivirus software or would another one be okay?

That version isn't compatible with Snow Leopard. You'll have to go back to Leopard or get different antivirus software =/

edit: removing inaccurate information after checking macjack's link.

I think you need the latest version which is 11.02. I have it working on my computer except for this com.symantec.navapdaemon.plist. This was put in my incompatible folder when I installed SL. Hopefully this will be corrected when they update their software.

I completely removed Symantec AntiVirus from my machine and I'm still getting multiple errors each time I boot up and occassionally throughout use. While not a showstopper, combined with having an HP Deskjet F380 that is no longer supported on my "upgrade", I'm feeling a bit taken advantage of......

If you need your computer for school right away, then you can go back to Leopard. If so, then you will need to do an erase and install. I would first try the Leopard (i.e., 10.5) DVD. But, you may have to use the Snow Leopard (i.e., 10.6) DVD for the erase part. Let's assume the first for now. Startup from the DVD by holding down c when starting up. Next, when able, choose your language and stop. Then, using the menus at the top, select Disk Utility and erase you drive. Next, quit Disk Utility and continue the install. After the install is complete, insert your Leopard applications disk and install the programs you want. Now, you are done except for restoring you data, apps, and settings as best you can.

In the other case, you will have to exit the installer after exiting Disk Utility. Next, you would startup with your Leopard DVD again by holding c down during startup. Now, after selecting your language again, just click install. After the installer is finished, install your applications as above.

I just found a way to deal with this, possibly. Go to your LIBRARY Folder. If you have a startup folder in your library, check it to see if there are Symantec or Norton files/folders in there. I deleted all of these and now I get no error message. WARNING: I've simply deleted NAV from my mac. I'll get the Snow Leopard version once it's available.

You've disabled it but there are still files scattered around your drive, some 25-30 are invisibles.
Use the Symantec Uninstaller it's a fuller uninstall.

Keep us abreast of when this updated version of Symantec supporting Snow Leopard is available. Another reason why I went back to Leopard is the Auto Protect error.

Symantec has released NAV 11.0.3 which is compatible with SL. Live Update will upgrade to the latest version and all you have to do is turn auto-protect back on.
