Also, I have a new icon on my desktop that is for norton but when I open it it just has the package inside that installs. I can't find the program anywhere even though it did install it.

Have you looked in Macintosh HD -> Applications? That's where most programs go... Mac programs don't make shortcuts on the desktop for you like Windows programs do. In fact, most Mac programs don't even have an installer. You just drag them into the Applications folder.

What are you installing Norton for, anyway? There aren't any viruses for OS X yet.

I wouldn't install disk utilities on any Mac these days, especially the Intel Macs.

That would be a quick shortcut dissolving data on the drive.

Norton Antivirus is a virus sucking resources from any machine it is loaded on, best used as a standalone to scan once in a blue moon.

Unless you swap a lot of files with PC users ... then you aren't infected just passing the infected files along.

norton is a resource hog and does install alot of items on your mac.
other virus protection software can be easier on your system.

don't install it.

i made that mistake once....and only once.

it took me forever to get it uninstalled. yeesh. i just got shivers.
