Avira Launches 'Mac Antivirus Pro' Optimized for Channel Resellers

Avira, the award-winning security software company, today announced Mac Antivirus Pro, a channel-optimized version of its AV security software for Apple (News - Alert) OS X devices.

Avira's Mac Antivirus Pro was designed for channel resellers to serve business customers with mixed-OS environments. The new Pro version features simplified cross-platform software installation and a new product licensing model that allows resellers to use the same paid license across any combination of OS X and Windows devices.

Recognized by AV Comparatives and AV-Test for its excellent protection against Mac malware, Avira's Mac Antivirus Pro even stops Windows malware from being passed to other PCs on the network. Avira's new Mac Antivirus Pro also features improved system scan, sophisticated A.I.-assisted malware detectiontechnology, and certified customer service to support both resellers and end-user customers.

"Apple users and IT admins in the B2B environment need to be increasingly aware of malware threats and exploits that can target Macs and spread to the entire network. Whether it is the latest ransomware variant from KeRanger or Locky, or some flashback Trojan, Macs and PCs are equals," said Anja Zimmermann, Director of Global Channel Sales at Avira. "And now, for products in our Pro product series for channel, we offer one simplified product license to purchase and manage them all."
