Mac OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" and SAV for Mac

bobcook

Apple released Mac OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" today, free for everyone with Snow Leopard or newer.

We've been testing our product with this release for many months now and had made numerous changes in version 9.0.3 (the version published about a month ago). The significant changes required were to change how we were building, codesigning, and installing our kernel extensions. You will now find two copies of our kext: one in /System/Library/Extensions and another in /Library/Extensions. This follows Apple's recommendation to support people transitioning from 10.8 to 10.9.

The kexts in /System/Library/Extensions are present for compatiblity with versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.9. Starting in "Mavericks" the location is /Library/Extensions. We are codesigning the kexts in /Library/Extensions to conform to Apple's security requirements.

If you have issues, please report them in this thread.

    I did that.  Slow machine, updates never finished.  I installed Mavericks last week.  My mbp basically locked up when I was trying to create a user account for a student to use on my machine, Sophos was doing something in the background.  Finally had to hard power off the machine.

    Logged in with my account, still no updates.  I tried downloading and installing the new Sophos, seemed to install, threw an "unkn kext file" error the first reboot after the install, but hasn't been able to download updates at all. 

    Not happy.  Almost willing to go back to a paid antivirus from mcaffee or someone else.
