Free Sophos Mac AntiVirus Home Edition
For many years, it was rumor that Mac is totally safe out of the box. Although it was not but nobody wanted to accept it. Just sometime ago, when these rumors become so common that they have to accept it. And now everybody knows that Mac is not safe. Even it is more vulnerable than Linux. But no worries about Mac security, there are some security software vendors who are providing free as well as shareware security software. And now Sophos has a fully functional free AntiVirus for home users.
Just few hours ago, Sophos launched their free AV for Mac. I am wondering when they will think about other OSs.
