The things that attract me to Protect Mac - apart from the issue of accessibility - is the fact that you can get a free 30 day trial without having to give away your chronilogical history to anyone and then on top of that, give 500 reasons why you dare to ask for a trial of the product in the first place <smile>, that's exactly what happened when I went to 3 sites for Mac Anti Virus products. Norton Anti virus is out of the question, for one thing they don't have a trial version and for another the product is way over priced in my view, $75.00 and I refuse to pay that for something I can't try.
I believe other company's have Mac Anti virus products in beta, one such company is Trend Micro. Then comes the other question, are these products just anti virus scanners or are they anti virus scanners plus malware scanners and spyware detectors? Protect Mac does it all!
