Antivirus research firm AV-TEST recently conducted a survey to determine the best security software for macOS Mojave. Their prime focus was to find security software that ensures the best malware detection, performance, and false positives.
The research firm conducted two series of tests in April and May this year where they evaluated the products for its overall protection, performance, and usability. These products received a maximum of 6 points for each test.
The three products that received the maximum score of 18 points included:
· Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac 7.2
· Trend Micro Antivirus 9.0
· VIPRE Advanced Security 11.0
Other top security products including Norton, Avast, AVG, and Kaspersky managed to garner around 17.5 points. Avira Antivirus Pro 3.10 and F-Secure Safe followed close behind with 17 and 17.4 points respectively – which was the lowest scoring by the antivirus software indicating the improvements of security protocols.
However, security experts also advise the user to practice safe browsing practices such as avoiding to download files from untrusted sources besides relying on the top anti-virus software.
All the products tested by the company received the AV-TEST certification as well.
