Symantec protects Macs running Windows

Symantec has released a Norton anti-virus tool for Macs running Windows on Boot Camp virtualisation software.

Norton AntiVirus Dual Protection for Mac can secure systems running both Apple OS X Leopard and Microsoft Windows operating systems, protecting users against malware that affects either.

“As the popularity of parallel operating systems increases, Mac users are at increased risk of vulnerabilities and viruses from threats targeted at both Macs and PCs. This is why an extra layer of security is needed – to ensure users are protected against both sets of threats,” said Rowan Trollope, senior vice president, Consumer Business Unit, Symantec.

Norton Dual Protection for Mac is available now through the Symantec web site.
