Kaspersky has launched their version of antivirus for Macs. Kaspersky’s latest product Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac will now protect the Mac OS against malware, viruses, trojans, worms and similar problems existing on operating systems such as Windows and Linux.

The malware attacks on Macs have begun, although they are nowhere as dangerous as their Windows counterparts. It is only a matter of time, that the frequency of these attacks increase to that against Windows.

“Since 2005, there has been a marked increase in the number of vulnerabilities in the Mac OS which can be used to conduct an attack via the Internet,” said Gun Suk Ling, managing director for Kaspersky Lab, Southeast Asia

“Just because they have not been infected in the past does not mean they are safe now,” Gun said. “For example, a Mac machine may be compromised by Trojans or key loggers without the user being alerted to the presence of the threat.”
