McAfee has announced that its Virex for Macintosh application now offers support for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) operating system.

With extended support for Apple's newest Mac OS X, small to large businesses can implement real-time prevention of viruses, worms, Trojans and other potentially unwanted programs across their Macintosh and heterogeneous environments.

Virex utilises McAfee's scan engine for proactive virus protection for Macintosh systems, designed to stop virus and malicious code threats - including hidden threats buried in archives and other compressed file types.

The solution is centrally managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), enabling businesses to manage all of their McAfee system security solutions from one central interface, to save time and money as well as ensure a consistent security policy across all computers.

'Although the Macintosh installed base is relatively small, it is still be a potential target for hackers, especially Macintosh systems that are connected to the corporate network,' said Steve Crutchfield, director of product marketing, McAfee.

'With added support for Tiger OS, administrators using McAfee Virex can upgrade to the new platform with the assurance that they are steps ahead of future security threats.'
