Norton by Symantec released iAntivirus, a free app that protects Macs from malware and viruses. It requires Mac OS X 10.6 or higher and is available at the Mac App Store.

It’s an on-demand virus and malware scanner that provides basic protection for Mac users through an user interface that leverages gestures to navigate the various application features. iAntivirus also scans the user’s Facebook wall for malicious links for added protection against online fraud.

iAntivirus lets users choose when and how they want to scan their systems with on-demand scanning on the home folder or full system, as well as custom scan options. Users can also scan individual files by dragging and dropping them onto iAntivirus.
