I thought Macs were not vulnerable against viruses. Why should I use an Antivirus? Although Macs are traditionally believed to be safer, they are not more secure than any other computer or operating system. Also, malware writers are concentrating more and more on finding vulnerabilities in MacOS and popular Mac applications.
What kind of damage can Mac viruses do? Mac viruses can:
Delete valuable files and documents
Steal passwords or credit card data
Allow remote control over your Mac
Cause system slowdowns and crashes
Disable the firewall and update service
Why would I need software that detects Windows viruses? They don’t even run on Mac. Many people run Windows on their Macs, so they may receive Windows malware while in Mac OS X and risk to execute it in Windows. The other risk is that you could be passing on viruses to the people who use Windows machines.
I use both Mac OS X and Windows on the same machine. Can I get an antivirus for both? Yes, BitDefender Antivirus for Mac and PC provides protection for both Macs and Windows based systems.
What versions of Mac OS are supported, on what hardware? BitDefender supports Intel-based Macintosh machines running the one of following operating systems:
Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.6 or later)
Mac OS X Leopard (10.5 or later)
Mac OS X Snow Leopard 32 and 64 bit (10.6 or later)

Click Next to continue.
Please note: the 20 or 7 digit key doesn’t contain the letter o, the digit would be the number 0.
You need to register your user name and password with BitDefender when prompted.
Please Note:To Renew in the Future with NetFreighters Australia:
We appreciate your custom and request you renew your BitDefender through NetFreighters Australian website in preference to the overseas link that is provided in BitDefender software.
IMPORTANT NOTE:You cannot effectively install more than ONE antivirus program at the same time. If you have more than one installed, the antivirus programs will compete for system resources and for access to files. This can cause systems to “hang” or crash and can result in loss or corruption of data. Once you have downloaded your evaluation version, you MUST uninstall any previous antivirus before you install BitDefender. This is normal for any antivirus product. Uninstall tool is located on NetFreighters Home Page.
