HomeKaspersky 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.

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.
