Antivirus gratis para IMac bueno, potente y eficaz?

Me descargué un libro que necesitaba para la universidad y resulta que venia infectado con un Trojan. Lo primero que he hecho ha sido eliminar el libro.
Me he descargado la prueba gratuita de 30 días de Intego premium 2013 y no me ha detectado ningún virus.
Como he dicho es una prueba gratuíta y en poco tiempo tendré que desinstalarlo.
Cuando compré el iMac me descargué e instalé del App Store el Bitdefender Virus Scanner, pero no ha sido capaz de eliminar el virus y no detecta muy bien.
¿Hay algún antivirus gratis, que sea bueno, potente y eficaz para Mac?
Gracias.

Perdona que te moleste, pero
Una pregunta que siempre me surge, para descargarme sohpos antivirus home edition tengo que elegir entre:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X 10.4 - 10.7
Yo tengo Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. Por tanto ¿tengo que coger el OS X 10.4 - 10.7 ?

May I suggest the followiing since you a mac user not a windows user when accessing financial institution.
do a search on malware and/or anti-virus and/or phising.... you will find some quality information regarding
the topic in general. (please make an informed decision to ease your concern)
I use clamxav (from the app store) and occassionally use (sophos) but its kind of confusing with out knowing why
there is a product called intego which is good too
there is a gentleman by the name of thomas and madmacs https://discussions.apple.com/message/20008529#20008529 who have written some good information regarding this subject

Do i need to use antivirus in my iMac?

i have mackeeper in my imac? do i really need antivirus in my imac?

Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed, with a history of making false advertising claims, by a company called Zeobit and a rip-off.
For more details about Zeobit’s alledgedly fraudulent advertising and paid-for ‘reviews’, and their dubious marketing practises, read this:

Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:
http://applehelpwriter.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malwa re/
now works.
This is also worth reading:

Equally phoney was iAntivirus:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=341
until it was purchased recently (May 2012) by Symantic (makers of Norton anti-virus which does not work well with Apple OS X). Even after having tinkered with it, iAntivirus still fails to do the job properly and cannot be recommended.
There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X and there is therefore no reason to run anti-virus software on a Mac, but a Mac, like all computers, can transmit viruses and malware to other users particularly those running Windows. Note, however, that Trojans are another matter and can represent a genuine threat, an example of which was the recent 'Flashback Trojan' which you can read more about here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261

The User Tip (which you are welcome to print out and retain for future reference) seeks to offer some guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
* The expression ‘malware’ is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software.

It is should be installed an antivirus software for iMac product?

Hi dear Apple..
I would like to ask about an antivirus software for iMac product. It is should be installed for virus protection, for example Kaspersky Antivirus?
Thanks..

OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

Is it worth getting an antivirus program for iMac?

Was wondering if I should get an antivirus for my iMac. If I do, does Apple provide antivirus, or I should use 3rd party programs? Which ones to trust and not to trust? Thanks.

there are some free malware scanners in app store
I scan with one once in awhile
Note that those have some pretty big limitations. Most importantly, due to sandboxing restrictions, they are incapable of searching everywhere on your hard drive. Checking specific files or places (like your downloads folder) is okay. Trying to use them for full-system scans is completely worthless... kind of like trying to find the source of car problems without being able to open the hood.

Do i need antivirus program for imac

do i have to put antivirus program my imac?

No. If you want to check it for Windows viruses, download and run ClamXav.

¿Antivirus para iMac Mavericks 10.9.1?

En casa utilizo iMac, pero en la universidad utilizo Windows. Ya me ha pasado que algunos de los archivos que he pasado al iMac estaban infectados.
SÉ que no va a afectar al iMac, ya que mac no tiene necesidad de antivirus porque no le afectan.
Pero prefiero tener un antivirus para desinfectar los archivos.
He tenido Sophos, pero realentiza mucho al ordenador, y ahora tengo ClamXv, pero no me convence y además estan diciendo y he leido que no da buen resultado y no es muy bueno ya que no detecta los malware.
Por eso pregunto, ¿hay algun antivirus que valga la pena, que funcione, sea efectivo y no realentice el ordenado?
Gracias.

At home I use iMac, but in college I use Windows. It has happened to me that some of the files that I've spent the iMac were infected.
I KNOW you will not affect the iMac, since mac does not need antivirus because they do not affect him.
But I prefer to have an antivirus to disinfect the files.
I had Sophos, but thread lags far to the computer, and now I ClamXv, but does not convince me and also are saying and I've read that does not work well and is not very good because it does not detect malware.
So I ask, is there any antivirus worth, to work, to be effective and not realentice orderly?
Thank you.

¿I need antivirus for new iMac (2012)?

It's my first Mac. I want to say if antivirus is necessary in the 2012 new iMac (21'5 ").
If I need one, tell me about the best antivirus and where I download it, please.
Thanx!

This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article. That being said, the best defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is a weak point in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability and poor performance.
By modifying the system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. Using it to delete or move email messages can corrupt the Mail database. Such messages must be deleted from within the Mail application. ClamXav is not needed for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. If you don't need to do that, avoid it. Windows malware can't harm you directly. Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, like a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use.

Freeware antivirus programs for iMac

We only recently made the switch to Mac from (excuse the expression) Windows. And even more recently...like 45 minutes ago...the switch to Leopard from Tiger! Until now, I haven't worried about virus protection for my husband's iMac (I do all the computer worrying in the family). However, I have read that it is a good idea to have an anti virus program, even on the less susceptible Apple machines, if one is going to do things like surf the net or open attachments...and who doesn't?
What about this? Do I need an anti virus program? Which ones are best? And...since I am saving for a MacBook Pro of my own...is there any good freeware out there??

ClamXav isn't worth the cpu cycles probably. Even when it found a Word Macro virus, it couldn't do anything about it but delete the file.
Intego AntiVirus X4 might, but you still don't need it unless you share emails and files that might be infected to prevent passing along. Free demo fully functional.
Web browsers; javascript; realmedia; even Adobe PDFs can all be sources of infection.
Disable javascript and plug-ins; use Firefox and NoScript. look for alternatives. And keep your system up to date.

What is the Best antivirus software for imac

I am looking for an antivirus software download for my iMac. Apple won't give a recommendation, so what is the best out there?

None.
Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on malware.
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

Antivirus on an iMac?

Hi, I appreciate that you probably get asked this all the time but will I need any antivirus software for my new iMac (coming tomorrow!!) if it is running on a network with Windows PCs? I know that OSX is virus free but as a new Mac user it would be great to know i'm not going to spread anything to my network by not having protection.
Cheers guys anything is appreciated.

Be careful here, Barry. You've just upped the ante to malware and that is very broad. You've forced me to post my malware warning
While there are no known viruses that attack Mac OS X at the present time, it is possible for spyware to get onto your Mac.
So I go to lenghts to protect my user. A hosed system can be replaced but a compromised user folder is compromised forever. Along with all your important data like bank records, credit cards, ... I.e. your "identity" stolen.
The best way to avoid that is by using your built-in firewall which is industrial strength and/or a hard wired router, downloading only from "trusted" sites, installing all security updates and being careful about what you give administrative power to. It is also recommended to run day to day tasks from a non-admin account.
Don't use Limewire or any other P2P service to download your software, get it from reputable sources. In addition, always keep at least your users backed up, preferably a clone of your entire system on a separate disk. And put your sensitive passwords, bank accounts, credit card numbers in a "secure note" in a new keychain or in an encrypted folder.
If and when a Mac virus does appear it will be headline news and you can download the AV software then. If you feel you have to run an AV program I'd suggest ClamXav a mac friendly freeware app that is very stable with Tiger. It will check for known virus signatures at any rate.

Display nuevo para iMac

Hola. Necesito un display nuevo para una iMac Intel Core2Duo 17'' 2.0 (A1208). Soy fan de Mac desde el 90, y me gustaría seguir confiando en la compañía.
