With the popularity of Mac OS X and the lack of antivirus installed by the end user, it is now more profitable and easier to target a Mac user. Joining the list of antivirus for Mac is Eset NOD32. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac OS X Snow Leopard will keep you and your network safe from emerging Mac OS X and cross-platform threats without system slowdowns.

It is also possible for your mac computer to be infected with malware, virus or trojan if someone intentionally install it onto your system, probably someone like your arch enemy. Maybe he doesn’t have access to your computer, but a bait would do the trick. Infect the USB with a virus and accidentally drop it for you to stumble upon it. You load it to your system and there it goes – bang bang boom.

Previously, life was carefree for Mac users since viruses and worms have primarily attacked Windows users. But the safe times have gone and Mac users have become a target for Cybercriminals – as Apple’s installed base has grown and Macs increasingly intermingle with PCs. Kaspersky Lab’s brand new Anti-Virus for Mac strengthens the security provided by Apple and offers a platform to add additional security modules as new threats emerge.

Kaspersky® Anti-Virus for Mac will be available from 15th October 2009 and priced at £39.99 for a one-user license for one year. If you’re looking for the free beta version, download Kaspersky® Anti-Virus for Mac (Beta, Free) and use this Kaspersky Mac Antivirus license key file.

I would probably rate Kaspersky as the best antivirus for mac. It is after all one of the top antivirus for Windows.
