PRESS RELEASE

Abingdon, UK, 29 July 2011 – Kaspersky Lab has announced the release of an update for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac that is fully compatible with Apple’s recently released Mac OS X Lion operating system.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac users will have already received an automatic update, seamlessly upgrading the product so that it is compatible with the new version of the operating system, while maintaining the highest level of security offered by Kaspersky Lab.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac utilises malware signature detection methods, as well as cutting-edge cloud-based detection technologies to protect users’ Macs from new and unknown threats. The product not only effectively finds and removes malicious software designed for Mac OS X, but also for Microsoft Windows and Linux - preventing the spread of malware on multi-platform computer networks. Released in November 2010, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac has since become one of the most popular security solutions for the Apple platform.

Since Mac OS X Lion is a major update of Mac OS X and introduces significant changes in both the user interface and the core elements of the operating system, Kaspersky Lab has promptly updated its Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 for Mac. New users are therefore advised to download this just-released latest version from the official Kaspersky Lab website.
