With iAntiVirus you are protected against the most nefarious cyber-threats attempting to gain access to your Mac and personal information. iAntiVirus provides free real-time protection and comprehensive system scanning to ensure your Mac remains safe and virus free. The iAntiVirus database has been designed from the ground up to detect and remove Mac specific threats. This enables a high level of protection whilst keeping memory footprint and resource usage at a minimum.

The iAntiVirus database is not cluttered with signatures for Windows specific threats which your Mac is already immune against. This means you get the protection you need without the extra resource required to process the threats that are not relevant your Mac. iAntiVirus protects you against Mac specific viruses, worms, Trojans, keyloggers, dialers, spyware, adware, toolbars and hijackers like the Mac DNS-Changer trojan. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

  Doesn't detect any windows malware at all !!

  by: kajax on 03-Jul-2008 06:21:56 AM

  Pros: fast because there's no windows malware detection...

  Cons: it's nice to catch Mac specific viruses. But the foremost reason for a Mac user to have an anti-virus program is still to avoid being a vector of risk for their Windows friends and colleagues. So this program is strangely selfish, unless you never correspond with anyone using Windows.
