Can a separte antivirus/spam be installed for bootcamp on mac?

Just started this running...up to 60 threats already on my mac. I had harddrive replaced on this Imac about a year ago. Owned this computer 2yrs...brand new. When bootcamp/pc was reinstalled, it would not let me put Nortan or McCaffee or anything back in, it wouldn't finish download...don't know why. Now that I have this, if I retry in bootcamp now, will this interfere with that? Do I need both? I know it is partitioned, but from what I understand, a virus is not known where it will land on hardware. ? Best adivice? Tx.

  • So you boot into XP or Windows 7 and try to download Norton and it kills the download? Don't waste your time with McAffee. Try to download Malwarebytes update definitions and do a quick scan. See what you have. Use another computer to download Malewarebytes if you can't download it on your computer. Also try running Dr. Web Cure-it, a free download. I don't know if Sophos has a free online scanner, you could try that too.
