Product Description:

The next generation security product for Mac OS X, designed to keep you safe from viruses and spyware.

ProtectMac AntiVirus allows you to scan any area of your Mac or network for both Macintosh and non-Macintosh malware. The user-friendly, graphical interface enables you to perform user scans, set up scheduled scans to run in the background, monitor status information and manage any threats that are discovered.

ProtectMac AntiVirus automatically checks for updates daily, downloading new threat identities and product updates and installing them without user intervention or the need to restart your Mac.

At the heart of the product is a file-access scanner that is always running in the background in real-time checking for threats, intercepting every file that is opened, closed or copied, any application that is launched, any file that is downloaded from the internet or email attachment that is extracted.

With the ability to scan any device or location directly from Finder's contextual menu, as well as automatic scanning of DVDs, CDs, USB devices and dmg files as they are mounted, checking for threats on your Mac has never been easier!

What's new in this version:

  • A Service has been provided to support contextual menu scans from the Finder in 10.6.
  • Launching of the ProtectMac AntiVirus menu has been made more reliable.
  • Access to license renewal is available directly from the main ProtectMac AntiVirus application.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

ProtectMac AntiVirus Commentaryer.... - Version: 1.1.1, 10/7/2009 05:50PM PST

what does the "next generation security product" actually mean? (made for SL doesnt count)
in other words, what great new strides in technology are built into it, making it tower above all others?
motivate us

Anyone ever notice that to combat flagging sales of its MAC AV that NORTON has to cry "Wolf!" every so often-and it always turns out to be a false alarm...
I think they must be on the verge of discontinuing the product

I installed on my 15" MacBook Pro and immediately had overheating issues. The computer ran hot all the time, and drained the battery in less than an hour. I opened activity window and found that the processor was running @ 100% continually due to this piece of software. I uninstalled it and Clamxav and I have no more overheating issues. I also found others who were having the same problem in the Apple discussions forum and traced it to the same cause. Just thought you should know!

Not bad for a new product. I got some viruses and some trojans in a safe folder and, after I've tried Intego Virus Barrier,Sophos Endprotection,TrendMicro Smart Surfing,iAntivirus and Norton, the only software to recognize that folder and the danger were: ClamXav and THIS ONE!
Good to go for.
Thanks
