    You can delete previous versions of Norton/Symantec AntiVirus by throwing away the Norton or Symantec folder in your Application folder and (most importantly) throwing away any folders located in /Library/StartupItems/ that have "Norton" or "Symantec" in their name (this is the "Library" folder at the top level of your hard disk).

    After uninstalling the old anti-virus software, restart your computer.

  2. Download the Symantec client

    For OSX 10.4 -10.5 download Symantec AntiVirus 10
