In my opinion Intego means viruses, trojans and worms. It was good but not better then F-secure. After trial it was impossible to uninstall MacAffee. I contacted MacAfee support and after two weeks I got the reply and they recommended me to format my mac which was the only way to get rid of MacAffee.

I have also found that with the use ClamXavSentry it helps to limit the number of directories being watched to those where new files are likely to show up.

I contacted Comcast's dedicated Norton support line, and was told by the technician that Norton does actually have a compatible version available. However, Comcast is NOT currently offering this version to their customers. He said they anticipate it will be available to Comcast customers in months. Like I stated earlier, the "Fix" took months.

The Norton Tech Support stated to me that they have a compatible version which is confirmed by the successful trial install but Comcast does not have that version on their website. This appears to be false advertising on Comcast's part and fraudulent sales in selling a non-working product to us as customers.

I have two options: Look for alternative internet providers or to buy norton internet security myself. I'm not doing that latter. I have the same problem no real support from Comcast.
