Speaking at a media luncheon in Sydney on Thursday afternoon, Larry Bridwell, global security strategist at parent firm Grisoft, revealed that the company's research and development teams have been looking at porting its antivirus application to OS X. However, the company is not yet sure if the product will make it out of the lab. AVG, which is best known for its free Windows antivirus tool, is developing a version of its security application for Apple's OS X platform.
