Serious Discussion Top-notch stuff for macOS?

[DarkJoney]

Dear colleagues, hello!

I need your help because I can't find enough input to decide myself.
I have been a Windows user since birth, mainly using security solutions from Bitdefender, Trend Micro, and Avira.
I haven't had any emergencies for years, mainly, I had to clean up adware if I forgot to remove the ticks in the installers.

Recently, I purchased myself an M3Pro MBP, because I wanted something with a good battery and screen.It also has all the stuff I need.
The problem is that I don't know which security software to use, and familiar vendors look stripped down compared to the Windows ones.
So, I need a bit of advice on which security solutions to pick, because I am waging between Bitdefender and Malwarebytes for Mac.

Please mind, I have the Gatekeep lifted because of "fair-use software trial"
I want something that will include good application control, ransomware protection, a webcam and keyboard protection.
I am also fine if it would be separate applications because I have heard only about the LuLu.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Both Bitdefender and Malwarebytes are good options for Mac. Bitdefender offers comprehensive protection including ransomware protection, while Malwarebytes is known for its robust malware detection and removal.

For application control, you might want to consider Little Snitch. It's a popular network monitor and firewall for macOS that provides application control.

For webcam and keyboard protection, consider using Oversight. It's a tool that alerts you when your webcam or microphone is being accessed.

Lastly, LuLu is a great free option for outbound network traffic control. It's designed to block unknown outgoing connections unless explicitly approved by you.

Remember to keep your software and OS up to date for the best protection.
