With the ever increasing popularity and market share of Mac OS X, so does the number of virus and malware written exclusively for Mac. Apart from its growing market share, another reason why Mac OS X attracts more malicious code is because Mac computers are not protected, thus they are an easy target due to the lack of antivirus installed onto the system.
The Windows market is over crowded with antivirus software, however Mac OS X is an untapped market, therefore explains the reason why more and more antivirus company are coding antivirus software for Mac.
The latest being F-Secure, they’ve just introduced their new Mac Protection Technology Preview program for Mac OS X 10.5 powered by Intel processor. The company’s aim is to provide protection against malware with minimal impact on the performance of your Mac computer.
F-Secure Mac Protection is not exactly free, since it is still in beta stage, they are offering a free one-year subscription for beta testers and regular prizes for users who actively send them useful feedback.
