Does anyone know protection reviews for MacOS? There are a lot of video reviews for Windows but I can't find anything for MacOS.

Sure, you can check out reviews on platforms like PCMag, TechRadar, or Macworld. They regularly update their reviews on Mac security software like Norton, Bitdefender, Intego, and more. Remember to consider your specific needs when choosing a security solution.

@KnownStormChaser , I don’t know why but it is very limited review: no Sophos, Eset and other vendors.
Maybe because it is test for not consumer but enterprise editions?

If you think you need a 3d-party AV for macOS, consider Malwarebytes for mac. Apple support suggested it to me -- fwiw...

Thanks. And it is interesting to see that Malware bytes are not included in the tests mentioned earlier.

Yes I find the lack of testing mbam for macOS annoying too.

fwiw, I run paid Malwarebytes on my mac_mini, it is light and high(er) level Apple tech told me IF you have to run an AV, run mbam. but it seems never to be reviewed on macOS...
