Apple upgrade provides anti-virus protection
Apple has finally acknowledged its desktop computers are susceptible to viruses and malicious software.
The Cupertino, California, company behind the Apple Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad has included anti-virus and malware software called Gatekeeper in its new OS X Mountain Lion operating system, released last week.
"Some apps downloaded and installed from the internet could adversely affect your Mac," Apple's website said. "Gatekeeper helps protect your Mac from such apps. "Gatekeeper is a new feature in Mountain Lion that builds on OS X's existing malware checks to help protect your Mac from malware and misbehaving apps.
