AntiVirus for Mac - Mac OS X Virus protection advice and free AntiVirus

I explain that all computers need some kind of virus protection as virus's are made for all types, whether PC or Mac. The antivirus program I include in the video is called iAntiVirus and is a free alternative for Norton for Mac or Mcafee Virex for Mac. This will work for viruses and spyware on the Apple Mac.

Here is the download link for iAntiVirus from the secure Apple downloads page:

You give wrong information. There are no viruses for Mac OS X.

[SamsMacHelp]

actually you are wrong, Mac OS X is an operating system. The apps are made up of code. I could write an app (code) that deletes files, shuts down etc.. That would be a virus. So I am sorry but people are making virus's for Mac OS X

@SamsMacHelp

I would like to see that, an application employing privilege escalation without user input.

Anyway, there are currently NO / ZERO Mac OS X viruses, only some trojans and other malware, that needs to be installed by the user and given access to the system by entering the admin password.

Look for the "Mac Virus / Malware Guide" on MacRumors to learn more about Mac OS X and available malware and the differences and ways to protect yourself.

I don't like kids with their "help" with computers

[BIGBPRODUCTIONS100]

@MCCHProducer Yeah, you are right.

@brudermeinesvaters That statement is ridiculous, of course there are viruses for MACs, just not nearly as many as for PCs. If you say that there are no viruses for MACs then you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The more popular MACs get the more viruses there will be for them.

@bas949 where can i find it??

[MCCHProducer]

I'm just trying to make a fact that this antivirus is out of date. It hasn't been updated in a long time. Macs do get viruses!! You could download something like Kaspersky if you really want to be protected, or Sophos antivirus. I just think that the antivirus you're using is not really the best choice.

@Madmanluke12 same for me lol, I can use everything else though

[bas949]

thanks man nice video, the link doesn't work anymore though and the software is not on the appstore, but I found it on their website
