Nowadays, it more seems like cyber criminals have taken oath not to leave Mac PCs without infection However, this truth seems to have lasted until sometime in the recent past when cyber criminals began to train their guns on Mac PCs. True, as Macs are based on Unix, they are lesser vulnerable to any harmful Trojan or virus attack than Windows-based PCs. This is a sponsored review via Review Roster.Being a proud owner (well that’s the way every Mac PC user thinks) of an Apple Mac computer, you always have been under this impression that your machine being the piece of next-generation technical excellence would never be plagued by any harmful threats, better known as virus, spyware, or so called malware that affect Windows-based PCs. It is difficult for me to judge if the app is working well on “really infected” Macs, since my Mac is so new.It has a place in my dock now, and it will stay there. I was not at all aware of that my Mac was infected by 15 spywares after just 4 weeks of usage, and I am very happy to have discovered MacScan. It is free as a trial for a short time (then $40), and as far as I know, it is definitely doing the job well. ![]() On top of the scanning function itself, the app is providing us with a great database that can display longer informative texts about spyware.Īll in all, this app is incredible. The scan itself only took a few minutes (having in mind my MacBook Air has got an SSD drive and that I haven’t packed it full with stuff) and it was very simple to use. I found 15 spyware straight away, on the first search, and MacScan helped me to delete them in the blink of an eye. I tried out MacScan just a month after I bought my MacBook Air, which made med very confident that I wouldn’t experience any findings of malware or spyware in the scan I did. With a good and straightforward interface it is hard to miss the obvious “Scan” button which will start the magic. When you start the app you get the option to run it in “authenticated” mode, which will enable the app to search and edit or delete even files with restricted permissions. The best of all? They are providing free technical support, without any need of contract fees or costs. ![]() It detects over 10000 blacklisted cookies, cleans up your internet clutter and you can easily schedule scans. MacScan is a tool (free as a trial then $40) which searches your Mac for malware and privacy threats. Today I’m reviewing MacScan, a tool that will help make sure you are protected ($40, download). Even though the Mac seems to be like a strong brick wall, protected and safe from malware and viruses, sometimes it’s good to check if that actually is the case, and that you actually are fully free from evil infections on your Mac. ![]()
