McAfee makes Virex Mac OS X 10.4 compatible 11:32AM, Thursday 25th August 2005
McAfee has announced that its Virex anti-virus software is now compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.

Although infections by malicious code such as viruses, worms and trojans are virtually unknown to OS X users, McAfee warns against complacency.

'Although the Macintosh installed base is relatively small, it is still a potential target for hackers, especially Macintosh systems that are connected to the corporate network,' said Steve Crutchfield, director of product marketing. 'With added support for Tiger OS, administrators using McAfee Virex can upgrade to the new platform with the assurance that they are steps ahead of future security threats.'

Virex was available as part of Apple's .Mac Internet software suite but was withdrawn after the release of Tiger. There is as yet no news regarding if and when it will be restored to the suite.
