Some packages will have demonstration copies to try before you buy. This list is provided for information and convenience, and the order in which they are listed does not denote product preference. Other quality products may be available which are not on this list. Some utilities are available for detection and eradication of specific viruses or trojans, or will offer protection against Macintosh specific viruses and trojans, but not cover macro viruses. For the greatest protection and best assurance of swift updates when a new threat arises, commercial virus software is recommended.
Some companies have free trial versions of their anti-virus utilities.
I have a cross-platform network, with numerous network services and servers. Virus detection and eradication is vital part of an overall security plan. In a network wide approach, commonly used vectors for infection, such as electronic mail servers, are well covered, and the suite of software products can be properly tuned so that protection and network performance are balanced. If Macintosh computers are part of the network, there needs to be assurance that the solution releases adequate updates to the client based antivirus software, and that the solution recognizes Macintosh specific viruses and trojans. The MOREnet Security Services team will be happy to discuss these issues with any MOREnet organization contact.
