[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1045902, member: 61091"] What I am not seeing seeing in this AV-C test is how default macOS system does with its X-Protect and its other hardening mentioned in the article. And for example on a windows av test, MS Defender is treated and scored as an av, but X-Protect is not. Admittedly, I don't much about X-Protect, but I do know Apple prefers you do not add a 3d-party av, and if you do they suggest Malwarebytes, but MBAM is not tested (again). I tried using a few 3d-party av on a Mac too many years ago now, and they only mucked up the OS. So I remain leary of 3d-party av on macOS, although I am running Malwarebytes. (perhaps considering an enterprise av like DeepInstinct or Harmony??) [/QUOTE]
