iAntivirus apparently does not feature any kind of mechanism for updating its definitions. Seems to work fine on my MBP and has a decent interface.įYI in a 2014 test of Mac AV products called it 'worthless without the ability to update itself. My work mandates that we use Symantec for Mac on our Macs. Intego's VirusBarrier Express got some of the best reviews, but Apple removed it from the MAS according to Intego 'Because of limitations placed on applications in the Mac App store by Apple' I don't see it on their site now, instead they sell 'Mac Internet Security X8' for $40/year.Īvira has a good reputation, and they have a limited free version and a $50 version of their software. There aren't a lot of shining examples of antimalware apps to consider. The author is no longer doing it as a part-time hobby and deserves to be compensated if he regularly maintains it to protect against newly released malware, I think. The app has been free since 2004, and needed a lot of work under the hood in recent years to compete with other antivirus products, and the endless variety of new malware and adware. The $22.46 purchase gets you version 2.8. That's the old version, last updated 10 months ago.
