New in version 1.0:

1. iAntiVirus Version 1.0 was designed to detect and remove Mac specific threats only

2. Its detection technology has been designed exclusively for Macs without unnecessary information about Windows-based threats that would take up excess memory-- so minimal footprint

3. Like the Mac OS, iAV has been designed with the Mac user in mind and has a familiar, simple and functional interface making it easy for users to scan, remove and manage infections and threats.

The BETA version of iAntiVirus Version has already been downloaded 250,000 times and was the #1 Antivirus download for Mac OS on Download.com, and is also currently listed as a “top download” on the Apple website.


PC Tools light-weight anti-virus and anti-spyware tool is designed specifically for the Mac operating system. Providing real-time protection and comprehensive system scanning, iAntiVirus is designed to detect and remove Mac specific threats ensuring your Mac remains safe.

“While the Mac has a solid reputation for remaining relatively threat free, the Mac community has been very receptive to the BETA launch of iAntiVirus with over 250,000 downloads from the iAntiVirus website and was the #1 Antivirus download for Mac OS on Download.com, the world’s largest download site. iAntiVirus was also recently listed as a ‘top download’ on the Apple website,” said Simon Clausen, Vice President, PC Tools.

“We are confident that the Mac community has been responsive because uniquely, iAntiVirus is a dedicated Mac-only solution that does not contain unnecessary information about Windows based threats keeping the memory footprint and system impact to an absolute minimum,” said Clausen.

“iAntiVirus is also designed with an interface that is familiar, simple and functional, making it easy for users to scan, remove and manage infections and threats,” said Clausen.

iAntiVirus detects and removes viruses, spyware, keyloggers, Trojans and in particular socially engineered threats which, for example, can propagate without user awareness through instant messenger and P2P file sharing applications.
