The antivirus solution protects the Apple Mac OS X from all types of computer threats including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, bots and phishing sites. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac uses the antivirus databases both for Mac and other platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Linux, thus securing guest virtual OS and multiplatform computer networks.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac incorporates malware signature detection methods as well as cutting-edge cloud detection technologies and heuristic file analysis to protect users’ computers from new threats that do not yet have recognized signatures.

The new version of the product leverages Kaspersky Lab cloud reputation services to improve protection still further. While scanning suspicious files, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac references the Company’s online database which contains the very latest data received from the global distributed threat monitoring system. Therefore the latest threats can be detected immediately and the number of false positives can be minimized.

The online database also provides Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac with information about fraud and malicious sites. This information is then used by the Kaspersky URL Advisor to mark dangerous hyperlinks on web pages with a special color indicator.  By placing the cursor over the indicator, a user can get more detailed information about the Internet resource and decide whether to enter it or not. The Kaspersky URL Advisor works with Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac is designed to protect Mac OS X 10.5 and higher, running in 32-bit and 64-bit modes.
