Something for everyone

Mac users looking for advanced security and protection can now buy it over the counter. Phoenix Software and Incredible Connection have released Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac for all Mac users who know the value of the data stored on their computers, along with the need to keep them running smoothly - and securely.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac has been developed to meet the specific security requirements of Mac users, offering protection for music, photos, files, and sensitive information through real-time scanning of files, Internet downloads and mail attachments in a familiar Mac-style appearance and operation.

The software takes protection to the extreme - also preventing Mac users from passing non-Mac threats on to friends and colleagues using different types of computers.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac is fast and non-intrusive, with only 1% CPU impact on Mac performance, and provides automatic regular and emergency updates for always-on protection.

Through Phoenix Software, Incredible Connection now provides a full range of Mac software to meet every personal, business and creative need. “Mac software enhances the entire product range on offer in our stores, allowing customers the opportunity to browse a complete range of hardware options and make the choice best suited to their needs,” says Dave Miller, CEO of Incredible Connection.
