PC Tools iAntivirus- offers free Mac antivirus software to home/home office users and for a nominal fee to corporate Macintosh users. And the protection literally is business-grade - the free version is based on the same Mac virus scanner Sophos uses in their Endpoint Security line. The pro's are after your keystrokes.Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition- offers business-grade protection free for home use. I run 3 programs on the Windows side to stay clean. I will live with a little more processor cycles to be safer. I run Avira and PrevX and MS Security Essentials on the Windows 7 side on Bootcamp.Īs for bloated, you have to pay a price for security. This was on a Friday afternoon and 3 hours later Zyxels USA site was down till Monday morning 10am.
I had a 1 week old clone so I wiped my drive and re imaged.Īfter the second payload trying to get loaded, I emailed the Zyxel's webmaster with my logs and the web pages I was on before the Arc Bomb Trojan got me. I had a total of 5 payload downloads before I wiped the drive. Every 5 minutes I would get another payload file downloading out of the blue. The heuristics caught it but the definitions would not clean it. ( i-Frame redirect are my thoughts) It tried to repair it but could not. I know all about this, about a year and a half ago I was on Zyxel's site and VB warned me of a Unix Arc Bomb Trojan was downloading stealth. How are going to protect your Mac from a bad i-Frame redirect with ClamX? You are not. I have 5 Macs so I buy bought the family pack.Īs for ClamXav, it is subpar. You get 2 license for the personal version of VB. You are not willing to pay $10 extra for the Gold Standard? That is totally illogical. There is Kaspersky, Eset and Bitdefender that I have not tested because Intego is the Gold Standard, so why move. I keep ClamX for files from PC friends to check that I don't pass on common malware to others.Īvast can't even find common Mac Trojans without forum user help. It may be better now, but I would guess only by a small percentage. There was a Mac security guy who had to plead and beg to let him add definitions to the clam database. The Clam team could careless about Mac malware and they don't keep up with OS X malware. DOA program.ĬlamXav only has 5 or so of the 13 Mac trojans in it's database. Symantec bought it and a couple of weeks and you saw lack of support from the forum mod. Intego just came out with a more advanced program with an advanced firewall and dropped Net barrier because it is now part of VB X6. Intego VirusBarrier X6 is the Gold Standard for Mac anti-malware Period! They just lowered pricing, 2 macs per personal and 5 macs per family pack.
