Symantec offers more Panther updates

Symantec today announced Panther compatibility updates for Norton Internet Security 3.0 and Norton Personal Firewall 3.0, saying that "users of these products will be able to download the Panther compatibility updates at no cost via Symantec's LiveUpdate. With these additions, all Symantec Macintosh products are now Panther-compatible." Replacement boot CDs are also now available for users of Norton SystemWorks 3.0 for Macintosh and/or Norton Utilities 8.0 for Macintosh for Apple hardware released after June 22, 2003 (post-G5). The boot CD, for use in emergencies when the main hard drive is not functioning properly, are available through Symantec’s customer support.

Symantec says that consumers who use Apple hardware purchased before June 22, 2003 do not need replacement CDs for Norton SystemWorks and Norton Utilities and that users of Norton Internet Security 3.0 and Norton Personal Firewall 3.0 do not need a new CD, regardless of the version of their Apple hardware. The new Norton SystemWorks 3.0 for Macintosh and Norton Utilities 8.0 for Macintosh CDs is expected to be available inside the packages on retail store shelves shortly.

I'd rather not mess around with a program that is as RIPE to find a virus as it is to destroy my hard drive....

Well, at least these updates don't fail during the Live Update process like the last round of updates did.
