Hi. I work for Symantec, and I'll be at the Makeover Pavillion this week. Currently, the PC Tune Up service we offer is not available for Macs. But...we've still got goodies for Mac users! We'll be giving out Norton AntiVirus for Mac, in addition to Norton 360 for PC users. So definitely stop by. I'll be there, as well as other Symantec product experts, to answer questions you might have as well about our Norton products and Internet security threats. And to answer Elisa's question, the laptop locks are external locks (like a bike lock) to physically secure your laptop. It's for PCs or Macs. Looking forward to seeing you all Friday and Saturday!

My trial version of Norton expires on Saturday. I'll be by to get fixed up for good--or at least until the next update.

I am always confused when having to up my Norton subscription. I never know which one is best. This is going to be very helpful.

Is the plural for Doofus...Doofusses or Doofi?

Either way I am in need of a tune up. I am not a political activist and I highly doubt anyone is out to get me but I would like to make sure my personal information is protected. Hope to see you there Elisa and artpax!

As a political activist I am targeted by lots of groups for nasties.... I'm on a mac and mainly concerned about spyware and or re-routing of communications.

Really and truly.... I'm serious and not all that paranoid -- especially considering threats I get all the time.

I'm on a Mac too!

PC-only? What about laptop lock?

OK, I admit I'm a doofus. I don't know what a laptop lock is or how it works, but I want one. Do they work for Macs?
