I have a 17" Macbook Pro and my wife has smaller 14-15" Macbook Pro, I have two Norton One Internet Security (includes Norton 360 Premire)

Should I install them on my MacBooks?


I know they say you don't need security software on Apple but I'v heard of virus's on iproducts?


The Norton Onel has security apps for the iphone and ipad and I have always used it on my Windows 7 and XP with 5 stars.


I use the Norton Online Vault to secure my user names and passcodes on My IPhone and iPad and it works 5 stars.


What should I do??

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), iOS 6.1.2

We don't recommend any antivirus for OS X because OS X has got its own security systems as XProtect or Gatekeeper. See > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg


Although you don't need any antivirus, you must be careful with what you download to your MacBook Pro. Your Mac isn't affected by Windows viruses, but you can transfer viruses to other PCs using the MacBook
