Kaspersky Launches Their Latest Anti-Virus For Macs

Kaspersky has launched their version of antivirus for Macs. Kaspersky’s latest product Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac will now protect the Mac OS against malware, viruses, trojans, worms and similar problems existing on operating systems such as Windows and Linux.

The malware attacks on Macs have begun, although they are nowhere as dangerous as their Windows counterparts. It is only a matter of time, that the frequency of these attacks increase to that against Windows.

Features:
•A global anti-virus database of over 20 million malicious programs for a range of platforms.
•Hourly updates to ensure that users protected against these malicious programs which appear on a day to day basis.
•Kaspersky anti-virus engine makes use of dual and quad core processors to dramatically increase scanning speed.
•It enables better use of system resources by increasing the performance of user applications when the priority of the anti-virus decreases.
•It has an automatic mode where it wont bother the user with unnecessary requests, enabling the anti-virus program to take decisions automatically.
•Fast and non-intrusive with only 1% CPU impact on your Mac performance
•It’s user-friendly interface is easy to understand for both novice and advanced users. Familiar Mac-style appearance and operation
•Kaspersky anti-virus is compatible from Mac OS version 10.4.11.

It seems like the the days of the popular opinion that Macs are safe from virus and Trojan attacks are getting over. Even otherwise that would be wrong to assume that any operating system is ideally safe from attacks from malicious programs. Macs have good security features to prevent malicious code from damaging the OS but even Macs are not bulletproof.

Macs are gaining popularity and with the user base increasing they will certainly be more prone to attacks in the near future. Therefore it would be wise to keep your operating systems safe from any possible threat.
