Bitdefender can be downloaded from the Mac App Store. After providing it with full access to your disk and access to your security preferences in System Preferences, Bitdefender is ready to use. It automatically updates its virus definitions and you can choose between a Quick or a Deep Scan. You can also select to scan files and external volumes at a specific location. The program also has an effective anti-theft feature that allows you to locate your device and trigger an alarm, then remove its items remotely, and also block it from connecting with wifi networks.

The program also comes with an online knowledge base, with video tutorials and a vast collection of content and offers a high level of speed for virus scanning – a fast custom scan took only 5 minutes on my test device. It’s also one among the few rivals that include a vulnerability scan which scans your device for old programs and weak passwords.

Overall, Bitdefender is among the most effective malware detection scanners, consistently returning remarkable results in independent lab tests. It has unbeatable spyware detection rates and a comprehensive protection suite that includes features like a password manager, a fast VPN as well as an anti-tracker, and parental controls. It also offers machine protection as part of a variety of its business plans. This is a huge benefit over other services.

Bitdefender is simple to navigate and organizes its features into three categories: Privacy, Protection and Utilities. Protection is the section of Bitdefender which focuses on the features that are common to all antivirus software, such as real time protection, firewall monitoring and ransomware countermeasures. Privacy deals with methods to stay secure while browsing the internet, like a safe browser (designed with banking and shopping sites in mind) that runs websites within the sandbox and stops malware from infecting your normal internet browser. And the Utilities category has optimization tools and other handy tools.
