Initial boot time has increased by 1.5 seconds however no visible difference in the performance of work.ĮSET Cyber Security is perfect for Macbooks where you just need protection from malware and other online threats on the go without hampering or slowing down the system. No compatibility issues with third-party apps accessing the Internet like VPN or system default like Spotlight search app. We tested ESET Cyber Security alongside Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac on Macbook Air 13 running OS X 10.9 Yosemite. Once downloading is complete, it is checked for malicious code. Data is not available for the given application at that time. When a controlled application downloads data, it is first saved to a temporary file created by ESET Cyber Security. The program has an “ Active Mode” which allows scanning of applications using Internet data apart from web browsers. You can restrict suspicious URLs manually and can see a list of blocked URLs detected automatically by the program. Along with that, it is easy to switch on and off the Email and Web access protection from the Web / Email protection menu. The most recent version of the ThreatSense scanning engine, combined with Email client protection, Personal firewall and Parental control, utilizes speed and precision to keep your computer safe. From here, Real-time scanning can be configured which allows continuous scanning of files on mac in the background. ESET Cyber Security Pro represents a new approach to truly integrated computer security. The dashboard gives an overview of system security by showing the current status of Computer and Web/Mail protection.

User Interface isn’t fancy but a decent one.
ESET CYBERSECURITY PRO FOR MAC REVIEW UPDATE
Update module not only downloads virus signature for itself but also suggests System security update be installed if necessary. However, about Firewall, you can use Mac’s inbuilt firewall which is disabled by default. If you are using it on Macbook Air or Pro which would be your personal carrying laptop, parental control isn’t required. It is clearly seen that the product misses out on Parental Control and Firewall. If we are looking for an Antivirus solution that won’t affect the performance of Mac, then ESET should be the choice. It has cloud-based scanning technology which facilitates faster malware scanning and a high detection rate as per AV-Test lab records. ESET Cyber Security is a basic protection suite for Mac.
