AVG Technologies recently announced the availability of AVG AntiVirus forApple's Mac OS. The new antivirus product will help protect users from viruses and malware while running the Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. The product is currently available as a free download from the AVG website and Apple's App Store. AVG's David Ferguson, general manager of consumer and mobile, said:
It's a popular belief that Mac computers are invincible. But, they never were -- it's just been a matter of OS X not reaching the popularity that Windows historically had. Thanks to the advent of iPhones and the iPad, the Mac platform has scaled exponentially, and that fact alone makes it a viable target for attackers.
The new AVG AntiVirus for Mac will offer users triple protection, meaning that the technology is capable of detecting malware associated with Mac, Windows, and Android platforms. This technology prevents users from transferring harmful malware from Mac computers to other Windows PCs or Android mobile devices.
