For some reason when I try to have this turn on and "protect my mac" it refuses to turn on.

Anybody know why or how I can fix it?

Uninstall both programs and stop using them should fix the problem. No need for either to be installed. Just learn to be smart on the internets.

You don't need any antivirus software to protect your Mac from malware. No viruses exist in the wild that can run on Mac OS X, and there never have been any, since it was released 10 years ago.

I don't want this to turn into a debate on if I need it or not. I did delete and reinstall the program but it still remains off. Any other ideas. Thanks for your assistance.

Delete it and run another anti-virus if you truly feel the (currently useless) need to run anti-virus software on a mac.

Try ClamXav.
