F-Secure Releases Anti-Virus For Mac Key Features Easier and faster to use Designed with performance in mind Reliable protection Real-time antivirus protection, automated malware removal logic Easy to take into use Panic button Instantly block all traffic except update servers F-Secure Anti-Virus has 2 areas of protection. Firstly it has a realtime protection system that stops malware getting into your Mac in the first place. Secondly you have the option to scan your hard drive to detect threats that may already be present. The realtime scanner is great – it sits happily in them menu bar and doesn’t take up any CPU resource worth mentioning. The manual scanning however is a beast. For me, on a 128GB SSD (45GB in use) the scan took over 4 hours. In that time the program used up 80% of the CPU. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Mac is available from the company website with subscriptions starting at $29 a year. Free trials are also available. Video Presentation :
