Question access to drive

My Norton anti virus has found a virus on one of my drives and says it does not have permission to it. The other drive has had the virus and it was purged. I am curious to how to get my blocked drive to have 'system' show up as well so it can do the repair - see my attachment -(at least I am assuming that is the problem) thanks in advance

Uninstall anything from Norton/Symantec, and repair system permissions.

Problem solved.

Norton didn't find viruses. There are no such thing on your Mac.

Uninstall it while you can. I tried Norton 10 years ago and it was a horror show to uninstall. It's complete garbage. Do this now.

Couldn't agree more.

I made the same mistake years ago as well and had Norton on the Mac.

If you want to check for malware, run ClamXav
ClamXav

It's slow but it doesn't mess up your Mac - the viruses it might find, if any, are Windows ones that you inherited from your Windows friends.
