If you want to keep threats that target the Mac OS X at bay, there are several security software solutions you could use. You could use Intego’s VirusBarrier X6 which protects against macro viruses and has properly good Windows malware detection capabilities.

You could use Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac, an application that protects against viruses, worms, Trojans, Windows and Linux threats, and other nasties that could ruin your day. As Kaspersky put it, the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac is meant to strengthen the level of security provided by Apple while at the same time offering a platform on which extra security models can be added.

You could also use BitDefender Antivirus for Mac, an application that provides adequate protection against threats that target the Mac OS X and against threats targeting other platforms that may pass through the Mac environment.

If none of these security software solutions are to your liking, you will be glad to know a new antivirus product meant to protect Macs has been released – Panda Antivirus for Mac. This is an application that can protect your Mac from viruses, Mac malware, Windows malware, and other security threats. Furthermore, Panda Antivirus for Mac can scan and detect threats on your iPhone, iPad and iPod.

“Mac users have always believed they were safe from malware attacks,” says the official description of Panda Antivirus for Mac. “Yet this is definitely not the case. Malware for Mac is specific. It is different from the malware that infects PCs, and we are now witnessing an increase in attacks that specifically target this environment. Moreover, it is silent malware, acting on the computer without the user's knowledge. So Mac users are now vulnerable to infections, just like PC users. And with the globalization of the Internet, nobody is safe from threats.”

Here are the main Panda Antivirus for Mac highlights:
  • It is an easy to use security software solution
  • Protects against Mac and Windows security threats
  • Smart, automatic updates
  • Scans files and emails, quarantines infected files
  • Real-time scans or on-demand scans
  • Minimum resource consumption

If you would like to purchase Panda Antivirus for Mac, a 1-year license will set you back $49.95.
If you would like to simply put Panda Antivirus for Mac to the test, you can
get a 30-day trial version.
