Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X delivers enterprise protection
against Macintosh and PC viruses, as well as other threats
Users of Mac OS X 10.3, as well as Mac OS X 10.2, can now
benefit from an enhanced version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X.
The product provides network-wide protection against all known
viruses.
Using the innovative Sophos Update Manager, part of Sophos
Anti-Virus for Mac OS X, administrators can configure centralised
Mac anti-virus updates across their business. System administrators
can also apply virus protection updates manually.
Anti-virus updates are deployed across the network
automatically, so that all computers are kept up to date with the
latest protection whether they are connected to a local area
network or the internet.
In addition, Sophos Anti-Virus uses Mac OS X's own SMTP client
to send virus alerts. If a computer is disconnected at the time the
virus is detected the alert is automatically queued and delivered
when the computer is reconnected to the network.
Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X creates a central installation
resource that uses Macintosh X Server tools to roll out
installation automatically to all networked computers, so that
drives no longer need to be mounted manually.
On-demand scanning of files, folder and volumes, along with
on-access scanning when files are opened, provide total protection
against Macintosh and non-Macintosh viruses. A command-line virus
scanner is also available for administrators who want to access the
operating system via the Mac Terminal utility to perform an
immediate scan.
Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X is available in English, French,
Spanish, German and Japanese.
