ESET Cyber Security

There is no such thing as a completely secure operating systems. Even powerful machines such as Macs are vulnerable to virus attacks. A good way to prevent virus or malware infections is to use ESET Cyber Security. It provides multiple layers of protection and the modern scanning methods it supports will root out existing threats. Though it's only free to try for 30 days and it takes a bit longer to install, compared to your average OS X applications, Cyber Security is definitely worth having on any Mac.

Once it is up and running, Cyber Security will automatically activate its core security features. These include real-time file system protection, removable media blocking, as well as a few web protection features, such as web access, email client and anti-phishing protection. Each of these features can be enabled or disabled manually, with a single click. It is also possible to reconfigure them on separate windows.

The program will automatically block incoming threats, regardless if they are from the web or from removable media. If your Mac shows signs of a virus or malware infection, you may prepare and execute a scanning operation without any effort. The software lets you choose between several scanning methods. First, you can decide to run a smart scanning process, which targets locations which are commonly infected by viruses or you can prepare a custom scan. Furthermore, you can opt for an in-depth scan and aim it at the entire system or at specific folders.

ESET Cyber Security comes with other features as well. While they are not critical to your system's security, you will find them quite useful nonetheless. Quick and easy access to logs or statistics are just a few examples. Obviously, the most important one is the built-in scheduler, which gives you the possibility of setting up automatic scans, to be executed on a regular basis.
