ProtectWorks is unusual in that a single $29.95 payment lets you protect all the Macs in your household, with no subscription needed. Which product should you choose? We’ve examined dozens of antivirus utilities for the Mac so you can make that choice with confidence.Īs with Windows antivirus tools, the most common price is just under $40 per year for a single license. You need security beyond what’s built into macOS. Ransomware and other types of attacks on Macs have made the news. But don’t think that means your Mac is immune. You’re a lot more likely to encounter a malware attack on the Windows box, both because Windows (despite Microsoft’s ongoing efforts) is still a more vulnerable operating system and because malware coders naturally target the platform with more users. Put a Mac and a PC on your desk, hook both up to the internet, and start surfing all over the web with no antivirus protection.
