Best Anti-Virus Product

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

Sophos Anti-Virus is, by far, the best anti-virus product for the Macintosh, and I've used them all. Too bad it isn't sold to end users...they sell only to business/enterprise customers (education, too). They provide definition updates (IDE's) faster than Symantec and NAI (most of the time), and their software can also be used to scan messages for a mail server (with some kind of software passing messages to it). Their support is better than Symantec and NAI, too, IMHO. And unlike Symantec, they don't charge you for definition updates after a year. And unlike NAI's Virex, their software actually works and doesn't cause other problems.

Best Anti-Virus Product - what the?

Symantec don't charge for def updates after a year... I have never been charged.... also the support on Symantec Norton NAV 9 is amazing... if you have an issue email them and they try to fix it... looking forward to NAV10... or are using PC.

If you had bothered to read my comment, you'd know I was using Mac OS X, not a PC.

I was wrong,... sorry. Symantec do charge a subscription... though it is worth it. I at least think so.
