Hi,
last week we released a new Technology Preview build of Mac Protection with Snow Leopard support (as well as some other tweaks and stability improvements). An announcement e-mail will be sent to all participants, and an automatic upgrade should have appeared if you have a working installation. Upgrading to Snow Leopard with earlier versions of the product installed could cause it to malfunction, however - in that case you need to reinstall. You can download the latest version from here:
http://download.f-secure.com/beta/fsmac/fsmac.dmg
Questions or comments are welcome here in the forum or to our feedback e-mail address at feedback-mac-beta@f-secure.com

Rasmus,
I'm happy to report that this latest version has fixed the previous problems I had since upgrading to Snow Leopard. I did a reinstall using the updated DMG file. Apart from somewhat verbose logging during GUI display and updates, everything's working fine. Good job!
Regards,
Joseph

Hi,
I just installed F-Secure Mac TechPreview.
It installs but I can't find any way to turn on Real-Time scanning.
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1

Hi,
Couple of glitches I ran into:
The "progress bar" doesn't stop when scan is paused. Don't actually even remember whether it should, but I think so. Felt weird to see the animation going on. Only indicator that it's paused was the bottom of the window where you could see it say "Resume" instead of "Pause". Also, it takes pretty long to make the estimation of the progress (not too fast at least).
Also, a dummy mac virus would be great for testing.
@Ingemar
As I installed it, real-time scanning was on automatically (Check the status tab, green check next to "Virus and spyware scanning"). Try updating?

Hello,
realtime scanning is on by default, however it is bit different from traditional PC antivirus software: as most of the Mac malware comes through downloads and external volumes, it scans external drives and downloaded items as they are accessed.
Yours,
Pasi Takala

Hmm, how should it display then?
-Maybe gray'ed ou? -Or is there a specific (or standard way) way to display "paused" status in progress bar?

Yes, it is slow and unfortunately there is very little that can be done for that. It is just that getting proper estimate for the scanning of large file collection requires gathering all the data.
A trivia that is a bit from the side, but the scanning worked earlier in a way that it started only after the estimate was finished. We found that way too annoying, and made two threads that run parallel: one scans, one collects.

You can use standard anti-virus test file at eicar.com

First of all, I'm sorry for not responding earlier, I've been busy.

Looked it up, and yes they should be grey'ed out, like you can see from the pic down this post.
Anyways, the document you should be reading is the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. It's found in the XCode's (that's what you're probably using, right?) Interface Builder's Help>Human Interface Guidelines. In my mail couple months ago I already asked you to take those guidelines in consideration when developing for mac, because in my humble opinion they are very well thought out.
