Strong Protection for Macos Sierra: 12 Packages Put to the Test | AV-TEST Strong Protection for MacOS Sierra: 12 Packages Put to the Test | AV-TEST Deutsch English Français Español About the Institute News Tests AWARD Test Procedures Statistics Publications Press Contact tweet share +1 7 21st December 2016 created by Markus Selinger Strong Protection for MacOS Sierra: 12 Packages Put to the Test Every MacOS Sierra user can fortify their system protection with a good security solution. While Apple does provide good proprietary system protection for MacOS Sierra, infections do occur consistently. Many of the 12 packages currently tested offer good protection and put hardly any load on the Mac. Some of them are even available as freeware. Even if there are far fewer malware samples out there for MacOS Sierra than for windows, this does not make them any less dangerous. Too often, the danger of a successful malware attack is played down and described as improbable. But when it does happen, it wreaks total havoc. One of the improbable cases involving hundreds of thousands of hijacked Macs was in fact called Flashback. There continue to be malware programs with a valid Apple certificate, in which case they are not stopped by the protection integrated in MacOS Sierra. 12 MacOS Sierra products in the detection test: 4 out of the 12 tested security packages detected all the malware 12 products put to the test threats error-free. Instead of shutting down the internal protection mechanism of MacOS Sierra, all the tested security packages enhance it. At first, this may sound like a higher overhead and system load. That is why in the current test, the laboratory examined not only the protection function of the programs but also their system load. The following products are in the test: - Avast Mac Security 2015 11.18 - freeware - AVG AntiVirus 2015.0 - freeware - Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac 5.0.1.23 - ESET Endpoint Security 6.3.85.1 Minor loss in performance in everyday - F-Secure SAFE 16.4 routines: Most of the security packages - Intego Mac Internet Security X9 10.9.4 hardly cause any load on the system during - Kaspersky Internet Security 16.0.0.245c normal operation – with a few exceptions. - Panda Antivirus 10.7.12 - Sentinel SentinelOne 1.8.2 https://www.av-test.org/en/news/news-single-view/strong-protection-for-macos-sierra-12-packages-put-to-the-test/[3/30/2017 8:18:51 AM] Strong Protection for MacOS Sierra: 12 Packages Put to the Test | AV-TEST - Sophos Home for Mac 1.2.1 - freeware - Symantec Norton Security 7.2 - Webroot SecureAnywhere 9.0.3.39 A total of 3 out of 12 applications are available as freeware, at least for private users. They are designated accordingly. 4 products provide top security SentinelOne: The security protection for Mac detected all malware without performance exception, and required almost no In the detection test, four products were able to detect and remove all malware additional system resources. samples 100 percent: AVG AntiVirus, Bitdefender Antivirus, SentinelOne and Sophos Home. Most of the other products offered good, but not flawless, detection. F-Secure SAFE only detected just over 60 % of the malware threats, Webroot SecureAnywhere attained a mere 22.6 %. While the test set only consisted of 31 malware threats, they were in fact brand new from September and October 2016. After all, the objective was to determine whether the systems also protect reliably against new malware samples and not whether they recognize the old ones. Additionally, the laboratory examined whether the solutions were also able to detect Windows malware. While MacOS Sierra may be impervious to executed or unzipped Trojans and other security threats, they could still continue to attack Windows devices in heterogeneous networks. This enhanced test, however, Sophos Home: While the freeware security package for private users detected all the was not rated, and therefore does not reappear in the ratings charts. Although it threats, it did put some load on the System. is not their primary task, the applications delivered strong detection performance: Bitdefender identified and removed even 100 percent of the more than 7,000 Windows malware samples. The additional packages from Avast, ESET, Sentinel, Kaspersky Lab and AVG had high detection rates of 99.5 to 99.9 % of Windows malware. Partly only 1 percent additional system load All the products had to pass the test examining their system load. To do so, the testers copied a data set on a reference system with a total size of 27.3 GB. In addition, many downloads were also performed. The total time of 241 seconds required for this served as a reference value for all the products. The solution from Sentinel required only 242 seconds for this test – thus, merely one second more than the reference system. The security packages from Symantec, ESET and Kaspersky Lab also came in only 2 to 3 seconds above the reference value. 3 seconds only represent an additional system load of just over 1.2 %. In this test, the packages from Bitdefender, AVG, Sophos and Webroot came in at 9 to 16 seconds above the reference value; F-Secure, Panda and Intego even up to 64 seconds. Finishing last, Avast required an unacceptable 287 seconds more than the reference system. The high result, however, only occurred due to the delay in the download test. The manufacturer responded to this, noting that they rely heavily on browser protection. That is also commendable, in order to block phishing sites or to fend off exploits. Only for downloads, this simply takes too long. https://www.av-test.org/en/news/news-single-view/strong-protection-for-macos-sierra-12-packages-put-to-the-test/[3/30/2017 8:18:51 AM] Strong Protection for MacOS Sierra: 12 Packages Put to the Test | AV-TEST No false positives through false detection As an additional test category, the lab installed and launched known, clean applications under all the security solutions. None of the products committed an error in this test – delivering perfect performance. As an additional non-rated test, the laboratory at AV-TEST examined the behavior of the products in case of unwanted software. So-called PUA (potentially unwanted applications) are pesky programs that do not cause any damage and are therefore not classified as malware. In terms of assessing PUA, however, there are differences of opinion between the test laboratory and security software manufacturers. From the perspective of testers, annoying software that executes unwanted operations is also malware. Manufacturers often take a different viewpoint. For this additional test, over 4000 PUAs were installed on the test systems. The application from Kaspersky Lab did the best job in the PUA test, and all the other products also performed strongly. Only one product has apparently still completely tuned out the topic of PUAs. Good additional protection for MacOS Sierra If security performance is the main focus, then the security packages from AVG, Bitdefender, Sentinel and Sophos performed the most reliably in the test. If we consider the system load required for this, however, then the product from Sentinel is the best recommendation. It places hardly any measurable system load on MacOS Sierra for daily routines. The other packages required additional system resources from 3 to 5 % for their detection performance. Which is still an acceptable loss in performance. The packages from AVG and Sophos can be used as freeware by private users. While both slow down an MacOS Sierra system somewhat more than the paid software products, the difference is still well within the goalposts.

  • Antivirus Downloads Free the Best Antivirus Software 2021: Free and Paid Options Compared
    antivirus downloads free The best antivirus software 2021: free and paid options compared. Having one of the best antivirus software packages in your device is as important as it has ever been. Yup, it's an incredibly boring and dry thing to think about - particularly as many of us won't have been affected by a virus for years and years, if ever - but that's not meant to say you shouldn't have one of the best antivirus packs anyway. It's definitely still a case of 'rather have it and not need than need it and not have it', for sure. We can guarantee that there are baddies still out there and want to get your personal details, even if it might not be in the traditional sense of a virus anymore. So, whether you have a premium machine like one of the best gaming PCs or one of the best gaming laptops, or just a cheap one for work, having one of the best antivirus will protect you while you work or play. If you're looking to beef up security on an Apple Mac or MacBook though, you might want to consider checking out our antivirus for Macs guide. However, in the year 2021, it is a very saturated market. There are free versions that we remember from years ago still around - though now refined - and also some newer or much-revamped paid-for programs that are more comprehensive than ever. As a result, it can be a confusing market to work your way through. But fear not, we’ve looked at a range of options available, from premium to free, from some of the biggest players in online security, to help you make a safe and informed decision on the best antivirus software for you.
