Norton Dual Protection for Mac |
|
Tuesday, 11 March 2008 |
 Symantec announced their new Mac product, Norton Dual Protection for Mac. It is a basically a combo package of Norton AntiVirus 11 for the Mac and Norton AntiVirus 2008 for Windows combined together.
Symantec in the past has dropped lots of it support for the Mac when it moved to OS X, and it evident now with this product. When looked at as a whole it looks good, but when you read further you see that Norton AntiVirus 11 for Mac finally is gettin vulbnerability protection, but still lacks intrusion protection. Intrusion protection is only available on the Windows side.
While there have been no viruses in the wild for the Mac, Symantec's release of the Dual Protection is welcomed, but the short comings of their commitment to the Mac community is not the silver lining I was hoping for.
