ProtectWorks AntiVirus overview

ProtectMac AntiVirus is the next generation security product for OS X, designed to keep you safe from viruses and spyware.

ProtectMac AntiVirus allows you to scan any area of your Mac or network for both Mac and non-Mac malware. The user-friendly, graphical interface enables you to perform user scans, set up scheduled scans to run in the background, monitor status information and manage any threats that are discovered.

ProtectMac AntiVirus automatically checks for updates daily, downloading new threat identities and product updates and installing them without user intervention or the need to restart your Mac.

At the heart of the product is a file-access scanner that is always running in the background in real-time checking for threats, intercepting every file that is opened, closed or copied, any application that is launched, any file that is downloaded from the Internet, or email attachment that is extracted.

With the ability to scan any device or location directly from Finder's contextual menu, as well as automatic scanning of DVDs, CDs, USB devices, and DMG files as they are mounted, checking for threats on your Mac has never been easier!

Quite bizarre that anti-virus software for Mac gets three and a half stars! This is a waste of your time and money guys - move on. If you run windows on your Mac then by all means get some anti-virus software for it but Macs don't get viruses... full stop.

Unless you are looking for a protect specifically to prevent your habit of inadvertently spreading Windows viruses, this is a waste of money. There aren't any viruses for the Mac*, and Apple's own XProtect will safeguard you from harmful malware. XProtect won't save you from phishing or trickware, though, but neither will this. *repeat, there are NO viruses for iOS or OS X -- just people who don't understand what viruses are and what they are not, so they call anything they don't understand or potentially harmful "a virus."

No AV scanner can find unknown trojans on Mac and for the known trojans Apples Xprotect inside OSX is the best protection. No viruses on mac, only trojans! If you want a scanner for Windows files on Mac ClamXav(free) is enough and it needs less recources! All the other AV software is to make money for the companies and waste money for the users!
