Best antivirus for Mac

Any security software needs to be able to prevent malware from being installed on your computer, with a Mac it couldn't be different. But security is only half the story, for a Mac antivirus to work properly it also needs to be light and unobtrusive. Features that the antiviruses below have in common, different from some free antiviruses, which in addition to not fully protecting your Mac, also slow it down.

Below are the 5 best antivirus for Mac:


AVG for Mac

AVG for MAC


In recent surveys, only 4 of the tested antivirus managed to detect 100% of malware installed on the computer, AVG was one of them.

Like many other Mac antiviruses, AVG also offers a free version, but with limited capabilities. The PRO version includes FULL protection.


Norton Security for Mac

Norton for MAC


Symantec, the developer of Norton, has some passionate users and others not so much. The fact is that in some cases Norton can slow down the Mac. I would not directly attribute the problem to him, but to the excess of information/applications that were already on the Mac but with the arrival of Norton in the system the problem happened. It would be like icing on the cake :)

Anyway Norton is still one of the best antivirus for Mac.


Kaspersky

Kaspersky

In addition to being very handy in capturing viruses for Mac, Kaspersky is also optimized for Mac system, meaning it still maintain your computer's performance.

The cool thing is that you can try Kaspersky for 30 days on your Mac.


Avira

Avira

Though free Avira is excellent at catching viruses on Mac. It will keep your Mac safe and free. The bad part is that it directly affects your Mac's performance unless you buy the full version?


ESET

ESET


Although little known here in Brazil, it has a large number of users in the US. With ESET, you can protect your personal data as well as access to electronic transactions, such as banking through Internet Security.

The good news is that ESET DOES NOT slow down your Mac, okay?


Avast

AVAST for MAC

This is another good option for those who want to protect 100% of the Mac. Some people have reported that Avast slowed down the Mac, this is not the case. Macs are still 100%, as is the result of Avast Mac : )
