McAfee VirusScan for Mac

McAfee VirusScan for Mac (formerly known as Virex) can be used as a standalone virus scanner for Mac or integrated with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) for enterprise management. McAfee VirusScan for Mac supports Mac OS X 10.4.6 (Tiger) or later and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). The universal binary can be installed on either PowerPC or Intel-based Macs. Integration with ePO requires ePO version 3.6 (patch 2) or above.

Given the abundance of backdoors and keyloggers distributed via the Web today, not knowing what's happening on all your networked machines adds even more risk to the enterprise. And one limitation of existing Mac antivirus solutions is they don't typically lend themselves to network-wide management. McAfee VirusScan for Mac (aka Virex) gets high marks for its integration capabilities with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, enabling admins to pre-configure policies and get access to scan reports. In addition, McAfee VirusScan for Mac can be installed via the standard setup interface or silently via command-line. McAfee VirusScan for Mac can pull updates direct from McAfee (the default) or configured to pull from a designated internal FTP server.

McAfee VirusScan for Mac includes detections for exploits, viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware that threatens Macs, PCs, and Unix systems. On access scanning provides realtime protection while drag and drop scanning facilitates a quick check of newly downloaded files. McAfee VirusScan for Mac retails for approximately $37 per license with discounts for bulk purchases.
