It would be great if...
... security vendors would put more effort into validating Apple products. A lot of open source and *nix security folks stand by Apple's software, but there's so few Macs in the enterprise that I don't think many vendors think it's worth tailoring solutions for Apple users.
If you're interested in Mac-specific security issues, I highly recommend SecureMac.com. SANS.org has also published a number of articles on running Macs securely.
I don't know much about Informer Technologies, the people behind Software.Informer. It bothers me that their properties don't disclose any corporate information that I would call "concrete".
I would recommend that anyone looking for any kind of software to install on their machine evaluate each product and hold off unless you are confident of the motives of the developer.
Lots of malware comes onto systems by pretending to be useful utilities...like update scanners, for instance. Remember, most of the malware that can affect Macs have been demonstrated to be trojan horses, pretending to be something else and requiring user input to penetrate the system.
Whether provided by obviously for-profit companies or one-person operations sharing with the community, I always like to know where my tools come from.
Thanks for the feedback, JCitizen.
