<p>The reason behind this is, as the technology is advancing Virus programmers are becoming intelligent and they are developing more sophisticated Virus/ Spywares/ Malwares. These &#8220;Build to Kill&#8221; programs actually are very smart, they reside in your PC and instead of doing anything which is directly harmful to you, these days they simply steal your personal information and uploads to programmer’s database.</p>
<div id="attachment_345" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 703px"><img class="size-full wp-image-345 " title="Virus Barrier X6" src="http://www.pchijack.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Virus-Barrier-X6.jpg" alt="Virus Barrier X6" width="693" height="504" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Virus Barrier X6</p></div>
<p>Such Virus/ Spyware / Malware are very dangerous as you will not even know about them and they can easily bypass inbuilt security scanner of your MAC. So having another layer of safety or installing antivirus software on your MAC machine can be a good idea. Thus here we present list of few good and free MAC Antivirus software &#8211;</p>
<p><span id="more-343"></span><a href="http://www.intego.com/virusbarrier/" target="_blank"><strong>Intego VirusBarrier X6</strong></a> &#8211; The Intego VirusBarrier X6 is one of the best antivirus programs for MAC users. It not only scans the hard disk but it can also scan email, components, and everything else which is connected with your MAC Book.  It has scheduling feature which makes it run on predefined time for scanning and its user interface is easy to navigate. It can also scan your Windows based software installed on Mac machine. It is not free but at 70$ is very costly but with the features and options it provides it is worth the money.</p>
<p>But we have a free version of this Antivirus as well, based on Intego VirusBarrier X6 VirusBarrier Express is the free version for Mac User. You can download it from Mac App Store.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/" target="_blank"><strong>PC Tools Antivirus</strong></a> &#8212; This is Mac only antivirus and available for free. It keeps your Mac safe and clear from files which can be downloaded from internet and can create problem for you. Drawback is it will work only with OS X 10.5 or later and requires an Intel Based Mac.</p>
<div id="attachment_344" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><img class="size-full wp-image-344 " title="Clamxav for MAC" src="http://www.pchijack.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/clamxav-for-MAC.jpg" alt="Clamxav for MAC" width="468" height="391" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Clamxav for MAC</p></div>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.clamxav.com/" target="_blank">ClamXav</a> </strong>&#8211; ClamXav is an Open source antivirus for Mac and it is based on ClamAv engine. It works flawlessly on OS x 10.4 or higher and has limited support for lower versions. It can also scan mails and it also has a feature for real time scanning of files as they are written/ read. Being Open source it is free and there is nothing better than ClamXav if you looking for free antivirus for your MAC.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx" target="_blank">Sophos Home Edition for Mac</a> </strong>&#8211; The Free version of this antivirus for Home users uses same engine as their Business edition. But it is free for Home users only. It can scan windows as well as Mac files. You can set the option to run a periodical scan or check the files every time they get downloaded from internet. This is one of must have Mac program as it also comes free for home users.</p>
<p>The review posted here is based on what manufacturers claim and what expert says on different site, to test real performance of these antiviruses you need to test them against a real virus. Probability of getting a virus on your Mac is really very very low, but it is always better to be safe than sorry!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Word processor is such an important tool for any computer user or people working in office. It is with the help of word processor they create text documents or other files to store important data. There are word processors available with plenty of features that may even confuse users like Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org, etc. Though MS word or Open Office word processor has numerous features, many people still need a lightweight processer that they can customize according to their needs. If you are the one looking for such a lightweight word processer, then you need to check Abiword first.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-314" title="AbiWord" src="http://www.pchijack.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/AbiWord.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="461" /></p>
<p>Abiword is an open source software developed by SourceGear Corporation. Being a part of the Abisource project Abiword has already impressed its users with its advantageous features. As it is an open source software, you can customize its functions as your wish. Abiword is considered as a perfect alternative for MS word, as it is an expensive office suite. It is a collaborative and multi-platform processor having the much-required state of art features, uses and interoperability. In Abiword, multiple persons can work on the same document simultaneously. The latest released version of Abiword is 2.8.6.</p>
<p><span id="more-265"></span></p>
<p>Apart from these features, Abiword also allows you to install plug-ins to your word processor. This plug-ins increases the usability of the processor and makes it function according to your requirements.  Few available plug-ins are some imaging tools, scripting support, encyclopedia, translation by Babelfish and more. In addition to this plug-ins, Abiword contains Auto-text Macros, spell checker, save as web page option and others as built in features.</p>
<p><strong>Cons of Abiword:</strong></p>
<p>The performance of Abiword was almost similar to OpenOffice.org Writer and is much lighter when compared with MS Word. Though Abiword is available free and it is lightweight and contains all basic necessary editing tools, it is still weaker when compared with its rivals like Apple, Microsoft, etc. However, Abiword works well with small offices and other home uses. Next, the latest version of Abiword still not compatible with MS word’s .docx file format. Though it has a clear program, there is a lack of style, which does not matter much. Finally, Abiword, though having some drawbacks, has everything that satisfies home users and small office applications as it has headers, footers, spell check, word count and much more. Moreover, it is a free suite.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KeyNote helps you make your presentations easily. Features associated several attractions with keynote. You get to choose from a variety of apple themes and can effortlessly make your presentation look good. There is a slide navigator, which makes sure that your presentation and the way you have organized your slides are always in view. This way you can always drag or select a slide for the navigator if you have to make quick changes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-312" title="keynote" src="http://www.pchijack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/keynote.jpg" alt="" width="506" height="326" /></p>
<p>There are tools that let you add a table or a chart for better organization of your data. All this takes just one mouse click from you. Using the media browser, you can easily drag in photographers or music files from you i-files. The themes are beautiful and have a feel good appeal. There are also animations and effects that can make your presentation more attractive.</p>
<p><span id="more-262"></span></p>
<p>Just like every other software package, the KeyNote has its own pros and cons. There are plenty of graphic options and expanded data displays available. The designs are stunning. However, printing options are not many. They are limited. A web view is clearly missing. When you save your files, KeyNote compresses them. Hence saving can take much longer.</p>
<p>The way KeyNote deals with sound can be yet another problem. This is because the audio file cannot be played everywhere in your presentation. The interface also requires improvement. Otherwise, KeyNote is a blessing. The designs are neat and the way the objects remain connected makes it very easy to create flowcharts.</p>
<p>KeyNote though nice might require a windows reader format for a better reach out. There is an option called magic move that actually lets you work on the shadow or reflection, opacity and rotation. However, this option works only on slides that are arranged one after the other (consecutively).</p>
<p>While a few options apply to only geometric shapes, options like shimmer and sparkle can apply to both text as well as shapes, which at times is a little confusing. There are also special effects that allow you to transform one text string to another. Instead of drawing a path from the beginning, you can use a command that makes the object in the back to serve as a motion path for the object in the front. Despite the fact that PowerPoint is popular, keynote is an upgrade that makes things more interesting!<br />
