McAfee extends New Products for Mac

McAfee has introduced McAfee Internet Security and McAfee Family Protection for Mac, thus extending its industry-leading protection to millions of Mac consumers.  McAfee Internet Security empowers consumers to surf the web safely, while McAfee Family Protection allows parents to filter inappropriate content from their children.
 
"McAfee Internet Security suite helps Apple users confidently live their digital lives," said Todd Gebhart, Executive Vice-President & General Manager, Consumer, Mobile and Small Business at McAfee.  "It will protect Mac users from the growing threats users experience while searching the Internet every day, and McAfee Family Protection allows parents to keep a watchful eye over their kids' activities."

McAfee Internet Security for Mac includes McAfee SiteAdvisor technology that protects users from malicious Web sites, SiteAdvisor technology, Secure Search, Two-way Firewall Protection and Advanced Malware Scanning detects and removes all Windows and Mac-based viruses, spyware and adware, as well as any emerging threats that could harm the Mac.
 
According to a recent survey by McAfee and Harris Interactive, 55 per cent of 13-17-year olds said that they hide what they do online from their parents and 36 per cent said they would change their online behaviour if they knew their parents were watching.  Just as with the PC version, McAfee Family Protection for Mac is designed to give parents a way to protect and monitor their children when using the Internet.
