Just recently a USB picture frame-straight from the box-was found to be infected with viruses. Threats these days come not just from friends or colleagues sharing files via a USB thumbdrive but even from places you'd never, ever expect, like new-from-the-factory devices.
#BEST ANTIVIRUS FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
One of our favorite features of ESET's Mac antivirus software is it automatically blocks new USB devices when you insert them 'til you've scanned them.Īs for the importance of this nifty little feature, it's huge. With that in mind, here are our favorite picks of 2021 in Mac antivirus and internet security software. Loosely speaking again, Mac antivirus software really would be better described as "Mac antimalware" since really that's the role today's antivirus software is meant to play: it's meant to keep the crap off your Mac. Other times, it's a rootkit, bootkit, trojan, keylogger, spyware, ransomware, or even adware. Sometimes, it comes in the form of a virus. Loosely speaking malware means any software that's malicious. While we're on the subject of Mac antivirus software, it's important to make a key distinction here: the difference between viruses and other malware. What makes matters worse is that because they think their computers are impervious, they're more likely to run around with an infected machine than the average PC owner who knows their computer can get a virus. It's still an unfortunate reality that most Mac owners think their computers are immune to viruses and other malware.
