Malware like viruses, Trojans, spyware or worms slow down the performance of your computer and even gather sensitive information. ProtectMac AntiVirus is an application that guards your computer from any activity identified as malicious and removes malware threats permanently from your system.

The program doesn't bring you difficult-to-configure scan settings. Instead, it comes with a straightforward interface, offers you an easy way to select the folders or drives your wish to scan, and provides you with a complete report containing a list with all found malware threats.

ProtectMac AntiVirus provides you with a very useful feature: the ability to select directories for the scanning process. This way, if you know which folder is supposed to be infected, you can reduce the amount of time you spend waiting for the scan to be completed.

Another major advantage is the fact that you can also use this program to scan the contents of your external drives (for example, USB storage devices) and learn if the devices are infected.

In my testing, the application worked flawlessly. To my disappointment, it found several threats on my Mac. Nonetheless, the program immediately removed them from my computer.

ProtectMac AntiVirus proves to be a reliable solution when it comes to finding and removing malware threats. Hence, I'd say it's worth acquiring it if you wish to work on a uninfected system.
