Symantec introduces Norton AntiVirus Dual Protection for Mac
This package was designed for Mac users who have Windows installed on their machine, either as a separate partition (Boot Camp) or through the use of virtualization software such as Parallels and VMWare Fusion.
You've got to hand it to Norton: like some sort of Corporate Kamasutra, they position themselves in every way imaginable in order to suck up the bucks in the ever-competitive anti-virus market. While this is really just a shrewd repackage of existing products, the marketing and the sticker price (a reasonable $69.95) should convince a lot of users to pony up the dough.
If only Macs needed an antivirus solution...then this product would be invaluable (okay, we were just trying to rile a few feathers with that last remark).
Norton Antivirus Dual Protection for Mac requires OS X 10.4.10 or higher on the Mac side, and XP or Vista on the Windows side.

But I thought Macs don't get viruses? :)

They certainly do. Thing is, they're all Windows viruses that don't do a darn thing until they're eventually forwarded on to Windows machines. :) Good to see Symantec hasn't given up the business of churning out the closest thing the Mac platform has to malware after all.

Yes, but according to the Apple ads, Macs can't get viruses. So Apple's lying, right?
