OREANDA-NEWS. August 09, 2013. Kaspersky Lab announces the release of Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac, a reliable, user-friendly protection solution for Mac owners. By combining traditional antivirus technologies with advanced proactive and cloud-based protection methods, the new product provides premium, easily-managed security for Mac computers that won’t disrupt system performance.

The myths about the inherent safety of Mac OS X have been shattered by numerous examples of Mac-targeting malware in recent years, including widespread infections of the SabPub and Flashback Trojans on Macs worldwide. Just as the number of Mac owners grows year by year, so does cybercriminal interest in this operating system. According to Kaspersky Lab analysts, in 2012, the amount of malware for OS X increased by 30% from the previous year.

In an effort to develop a security product that meets the usability requirements of Mac users, Kaspersky Lab has created Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac. This new solution replaces the company’s existing product - Kaspersky Security for Mac - by adding security technologies already found in the Kaspersky Lab’s advanced Internet Security products for PCs. The new technologies in Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac offer Mac owners a host of new security benefits, such as:

Real-time protection against all threats

Secure web surfing and shopping

Protection for your identity

Parental Controls to ensure safe Internet browsing for your children

A more intuitive user experience.
