Symantec has released a Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”) compatible version (11) of Norton AntiVirus, featuring new vulnerability protection technology. It also features a sleeker, redesigned user interface and enhanced performance.

The estimated retail price for Norton AntiVirus 11 for Mac is US$49.95. The product includes a one-year subscription to Symantec’s protection updates. Also available for Mac OS X Leopard is Norton Confidential, Symantec’s identity protection solution. Norton Confidential for Mac is available through the Symantec Store and at select online and retail outlets for an estimated retail price of $49.99.
