Hi guys!
Guess this is a question for Prevxhelp.
I saw a post on the Prevx blog some time ago,
that you where looking to hire some Mac OS X developer.
So I just wanted to check if you actually did hire some developers?
And if the development of an Mac version of Prevx has started?
I know it takes a long time to develop but i'm just curious to know!
And I will gladly use it on my new iMac once it becomes available !-)
Cheers, SweX

Hello :)
Yes, we are actively developing Prevx for Mac (and iPhone, and a handful of other platforms in the near future as well :))
I'll let you all know as soon as a beta is available!

Hi PrevXHelp!
Wow, thanks for letting me know. Great news! :thumb:
Then I got two more questions for you.
I wonder if you will keep the detection for Windows malware in the Mac version as well, I would like that anyway? ::)
Even if they are harmless to my Mac I want to keep them out you know.
Are we talking 6-12 months until Beta, or even longer?
No hurry I'm just curious ;)
Cheers, SweX

I don't have too many details on a timeline at the moment yet but I suspect we will be detecting Windows malware on a Mac as well (and vice versa, as it is essentially no overhead on the client's PC because of our cloud database :))

Oh Well Done Prevx!
Some of us Mac(Intel) users have been (im)patiently waiting (and occasionally hinting;) ) for last 3+ years......
Stating the obvious perhaps but presumably this will be written with/for 64bit kernel/ext thus precluding other than (Snow)Leopard systems?
