 [About the "Super Security for Mac"]

Everyone has heard the myth, "Macs don’t get infected by viruses" but we all know that this is obsolete information. Macs DO get infected and the truth is, they ARE in fact targets of various attacks.

Two years ago, 600 thousand Mac users around the world were hit by a "Flashback" virus. And although the number of Mac users and the number of threats targeting these Mac users continue to grow, the number of people who actually use security software on Macs are still very low when compared to that of Windows users. This fact could be taken to mean that Mac users in general are more vulnerable to potential virus outbreaks.

"Super Security for Mac" is a security software for Mac which is powered by the award-winning Bitdefender engine. Extremely light and fast, it is designed to run with minimal load on your Mac.

In order to remedy this, SOURCENEXT has once again teamed up with the world’s leading security software developers at Bitdefender to bring forth this new security solution for Mac users. The product not only serves to protect Mac users from virus infections, but also comes with a "Web Protection" feature which helps to protect them from various phishing and fraud sites when browsing the web.

 

[Key Features]

 

Antivirus

　Files used on your Mac are automatically scanned upon access.

　Scanning is carried out automatically when needed, and promises real time detections with minimal load to your machine. Virus signature files are also updated automatically in the background to make sure that your system is always protected in the latest state.

Folder / File Scanning

Virus scans can be configured to run on the entire system, or on specific critical areas, or on any folders / files of your choice.

AntiPhishing

A comprehensive antiphishing feature blocks phishing attempts and prevents you from accessing any phishing sites.

 (NOTE: currently only supported on Safari. Google Chrome and Firefox are not supported for now)
