Norton's revitalised Mac attack

Posted in: Security

Capitalising on the growing market share of the new Intel-powered Macs, if not the expected inevitability of a Mac OS X virus turning up ‘in the wild’ (not just as a proof-of-concept exercise), Symantec is ramping up its presence in the Apple world.
