Bitdefender is one of the top Mac antivirus program. It has a high rate of malware detection and many other useful security features. The program is not without faults.

The default interface is simple to navigate and organizes features into three categories: Privacy, Security and Utilities. The Protection tab focuses on the features you would expect from an antivirus program, such as real-time scanning, firewall monitoring, and ransomware countermeasures. The Privacy tab offers suggestions on how to be secure on the internet, including a secure web browser that runs websites within the sandbox, to keep malware from infecting your regular browser. The Utilities tab includes optimization tools and a file shredder that overwrites files using exclusive algorithms to render them unrecoverable even if they’ve been deleted.

Other features are available on premium plans, such as an effective password manager and an anti-tracking solution that can prevent excessive tracking by a variety of web services. The program comes with a security scanner that detects outdated software and passwords that are not secure, or Windows updates that haven’t yet been applied. It also provides a speedy customized scan that takes only five minutes to complete, which is much quicker than competitors such as Norton and TotalAV.

The only drawback to the application is its slow install process which can be very frustrating for users who want to get started right away. The “Reveal in the Finder” feature of the app isn’t working. It’s a curious oversight in an antivirus app that competes against rival solutions that do the same thing with just a few clicks.
