Aug 26, 2005 17:37 GMT  ·  By

McAfee announced that McAfee Virex for Macintosh now offers support for the Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) operating system.

With extended support for Apple's newest Mac OS X, small to large businesses can implement real-time prevention of viruses, worms, Trojans and other potentially unwanted programs across their Macintosh and heterogeneous environments.

McAfee Virex utilizes the award-winning McAfee scan engine for complete, proactive virus protection for Macintosh systems, stopping virus and malicious code threats, including hidden threats buried in archives and other compressed file types.

The solution is centrally managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, enabling businesses to manage all of their McAfee system security solutions from one central interface, to save time and money as well as ensure a consistent security policy across all computers.

According to a recent Inside Gartner Top View Report by Ed Younker, Gartner Research, enterprise users should not assume that their Macs are immune to security flaws. Even though the growing number of Macintosh security flaws won't affect most enterprises, businesses using Macs must guard against malicious code attacks.

McAfee Virex is available August 29, 2005 worldwide through McAfee, Inc. and its channel partners.
