Virus Protection for Mac

Folks always ask me about virus protection for their Mac. The main question....do they need it? While Macs aren't immune to viruses, it has been rare that anything targeting a Mac has made the rounds. Yet, it does happen. And there is some belief among the experts that the growing popularity of Mac products makes them more of a target.

But it has still been a tough decision. Spend a lot of money on something that you might never benefit from...while enduring the issues of slowing down your computer, dealing with virus application updates, etc.

Well, one of the leading experts in data protection, Sophos, has just released what may be our best solution to date. Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac is a free download designed to protect your Mac from viruses and other nasty internet threats. It is a full-featured program that you can configure to your liking - scanning daily, or just scanning when you want and what you want. And Sophos has a reputation for quality products and excellent work in the area of data protection.

Sophos Anti-Virus for the Mac will run on Intel or Power-PC Macs running any operating system from 10.4 through 10.6.
