![]() This is what the general preference panel looks like: And I like the fact that you can, if you want, really enter into more advanced granular protection. So how was I to review this product? Well, for starters, I haven’t gotten a virus. And honestly, I have completely forgotten that I have it installed until I get the daily reminder alert that the virus definitions had been updated. It updates regularly and protects even second of the day but all behind the scenes. Since my Mac has been relatively free of full-featured security software, mainly because I didn’t think it was truly necessary, I didn’t want a security application that was always “in your face.” ESET works that way. For me, on Windows, I like tweaking and tuning the protection simply because I know that there are lots of different ways that your computer can get compromised.īut on the Mac, it’s completely different. Some users want their security software to just run in the background and not bother them and simply provide the security and protection. This type of interaction may not be for everyone though.

The latest one that I’m using is ESET Cybersecurity for Mac. There are fewer numbers of Mac security and A/V software solutions out there and I have used a few.

Those people who have computers but don’t have ANY anti-virus software are destined to a severe, brutal and ugly day of awakening, especially if they are on a Windows PC. There are a lot of great providers out there, some paid and some free. I don’t know how many different types of Anti-Virus or security software I have tested over the years.
