Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

downloads & updates

How can you check what Downloads or Updates you have done? Also I have Norton Security through Comcast, should I turn off the Firewall in Norton Security & keep the Firewall on that came with my iMac or vise versa? Thank-You in advance for any help.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

KiltedTim is totally correct regarding Norton, in addition any antivirus app on OS X is not only a totally unnecessary but a waste of system resources. Locate Norton's uninstall instructions and follow them to the letter. There are no viruses for OS X, however there is a VERY small amount of malware however that is easily avoided with a small amount of common sense.


  • Never download anything from a Torrent.
  • If you receive an ad, pop-up, e-mail, or phone call advising that your system has been compromised, these are all SCAMs.
  • Keep OS X up-to-date.
