enjoy your holidays with your Apple devices like iPhone, iPod. But if you are using iPhone then you also think about its data security. Today numerous chances of data loss so if you have no any backup of your data then you suffer from data loss problems. backup is very necessary for iPhone users. I would suggets you to try iPhone backup for mac application because it is powerful and provide you complete backup to your data.

Have you been searching for a great antispyware to keep your computer running like new? If so, you will be happy to know that there are some great options out there. I have tried many different types of antispyware only to find that the majority of them find the exact same types of bugs. The biggest difference that you will find between all the different types of antispyware offered is the price. Orbasoft Antispyware is an excellent choice that can be purchased at a lower price than many of the other options available. If you are interested in discovering the benefits offered from antispyware solution from Orbasoft visit http://www.orbasoft.com to learn more.

We *do* run fine on a single PC or Mac, but as we focus on protecting businesses you would need to purchase a minimum of a 5 user license. Sorry for not being clearer in my post.

It just isn’t economical for us to supply the high level of tech support that we believe is important with a security product at a competitive single user price. Of course, many of our business licenses include a waiver to allow workers to use our software at home too.. so that’s another route.

Cheers, and sorry about the confusion.

How do I buy it then? I sent and inquiry via your website and got the following back from Jackin Harper when I asked for single user pricing:

“As for pricing, unfortunately because we do not cater to home/single users
we have a 5 licence minimum for our products. If you are interest in
getting a quote for 5 user licences please let me know and send me your
full contact details, including zip code. You may want to look at these
third party websites to find an alternative security vendor:”

What is the correct way of going about buying a home license?

Scott is right that Sophos announced its Mac OS X anti-virus product before McAfee.

LARick – yes, Sophos focuses on protecting businesses rather than home users, although we do run just fine on a single Mac (like I’m using right now!)

Cheers
Graham, Sophos

McAfee has a license for 3 or more computers and Sophos starts at 5 computers. Symantec/Norton does have home edition that now supports 10.5, but I’ve used Norton in the past on my Macs and it was very invasive/buggy.

Please correct me if I am mistaken on the above, but I can’t find single user versions on their sites.

ClamXAV, as far as I can tell does not support Leopard as of yet.

This is incorrect, as Sophos had a full supported version on the day prior to the release of Leopard.
