A phishing scam has targeted Mac users by redirecting them from legitimate websites to fake websites which tell them that their computer is infected with a virus. The user is then offered Mac Defender 'anti-virus' software to solve the issue.

Apple is preparing to release a new edition of its operating system for Mac, called macOS 10.15 Catalina. Druide will be releasing minor updates for Antidote 10 and Antidote 9 in order to adapt them to the new system. We recommend that Antidote users wait for their release before making the switch to Catalina. Antidote will inform them when the updates are ready.
These updates will ensure that Antidote can still be integrated with various software applications using Catalina. Only integration with Microsoft Outlook for Mac will not function. We are actively working with Microsoft to find a solution. In the meantime, we recommend that all users of this software wait before making the switch to Catalina. Previous 32-bit editions of Antidote such as Antidote RX and Antidote HD will not work with Catalina. Antidote 8 will continue to operate with the same limitations as with Apple's previous system, Mojave.
