[QUOTE="Game Of Thrones, post: 957142, member: 23430"] the only security softwares that updated to native m1 support are Kaspersky bitdefender and avast. avast was one of the first they did it really soon after m1 was announced. but yet i don't recommend installing one. if you insist to use mac security software, use Kaspersky why because of this reasons that i tested: its the only mac security software that the realtime cloud protection works on mac too. so even newest windows threats will get detected. (KSN realtime protection) this does not happen in bitdefender or avast and so many others they just update the offline protection with updates so their cloud does not work in mac. if you want to test just use AMTSO cloudcar test which is the standard file to use to see if cloud protection works or not, only Kaspersky detects it on mac. it has a good network protection unlike others it recently got updated for m1 which will make it more friendly to m1 mac. i didn't tested the new version seems most problems got rectified. intel architecture is working the same so no difference the internet protection link checker and stuff works better than the others only bitdefender comes close. their behavior protection is somehow partially implemented on mac too i'v seen many heuristics and behavior blocking on many tests online or by myself. others have implemented mostly static detection for mac or have less effective methods. regardless of your architecture i recommend Kaspersky if you look at their software it shows that they are taking mac security more serious than the others.from UI to detection capability [/QUOTE]
