Sophos debuts freebie anti-virus scanner for Macs

Sweat trickles down fanboi foreheads

By John Leyden

Updated Sophos released a free of charge Mac anti-virus product for consumers on Tuesday in a bid to highlight the growing security risk against the platform and to shake fanbois out of their complacency.

The business-focused internet security firm is making Sophos Anti-Virus Home Edition for Mac available for download at no charge - with no time limit, and requiring no registration. The technology is a cut-down version of Sophos's pre-existing anti-virus software for Macs and will ship with detection of thousands of malware strains including Trojans and rootkits.
