I mean what is the point of creating an OS that is insecure and you have to buy a costly Anti-virus program for that as a separate package.

MAC; without anti-virus is secure enough, because MAC users are more productive and less hackers.

Yet Apple seems to aid MAC OSX Snow Leopard with a built-in Anti-virus and Anti-Malware to ensure no virus problems for their product.

This release was expected to be launched at the World Wide Developers Conference in June 2009, and until Monday Apple were telling us to expect this in September.

Antivirus Snow Leopard Mac Version 7

Our latest software release ( Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac version 7.0.5 ) is Snow Leopard ready and this is available now.

We estimate the development has been at least 18 months work, yet to look at it you wont notice many visual changes.

In Apples own words they have refined, not reinvented the operating system.

Of particular note is that Apple has firmly closed the door on Power PC; Snow Leopard is a 64-bit, Intel operating system.

So by focusing on the future Apple is telling Mac users with older computers to buy new hardware if they want to run Snow Leopard.

This speed is accompanied with slimming down the memory footprint by half, saving 7GB.

And of course by offering 64-bit multi-core processors, high end users will appreciate being able to access all available RAM.

These include Library randomization, Execute Disable (to protect Mac memory from attack), sandboxing and anti-phishing Safari features.

With users seen as the weak link in the chain we think that the new Password assistant is cool.

This is no replacement for running full anti-virus scanning however.

Dont forget many corporate users do run Windows on their Macs, either using Bootcamp or a virtual machine.

This new version builds on it and provides full 64-bit kernel support for scanning.

It can be centrally managed along with the Windows version of Sophos Anti-Virus software.

The performance enhancements are exciting and there are a host of exciting new APIs and technologies just begging to be used (not to mention the improvement to stacks).

However, we know corporate customers like to plan for new software releases and look for reassurance that key business software will work from day one.

With all the improvements that Apple has made it would be a real shame if their silent approach to launching products kept them out of corporate IT departments.
