As many users are starting to use an antivirus to protect their PC-Mac network or even their dual-boot computers, it’s now our pleasure to announce a project that we’ve been working on for the past few months: BitDefender Antivirus 2009 for Mac, a new concept product designed to provide antivirus protection for your Macs.
The beta1 kit is ready for download at the BitDefender Beta Center (http://beta.bitdefender.com) and it includes the following main features:
• On-demand Scanner
• Real-time Antivirus Protection
• Automatic Malware Signatures and Engine Updates
• Automatic product Updates
BitDefender Antivirus 2009 for Mac deals with several types of known or „in-the-wild” malware types: viruses, trojans, spyware, backdoors, rootkits (on Windows). As new threats appear, the list will be supplemented in the following signature updates. The product filters and cleans up Internet, e-mail, instant messaging downloads and not only. Its dual protection capability ensures that Mac machines with both Mac OS X and Win installed are free from threat.
So, if you own a Mac, give this fresh beta a try and send us your feedback (bugs included). We would also welcome any ideas on the usability of the product’s user interface.
To submit feature requests and bug reports, you need to create a BitDefender beta tester account. If you already have an account from a previous BitDefender beta campaign, please use the same username and password. Otherwise, go to Beta - Beta BitDefender Program and subscribe to the BitDefender Antivirus 2009 for Mac Beta Concept campaign. Please note that the bugs you submit will be confirmed, fixed and marked as such in the next beta release.
Enjoy your BitDefender Beta Testing experience!
