ProtectWorks AntiVirus For Mac

ProtectWorks AntiVirus is a fairly lightweight application designed to help you detect and remove various types of malware from your Mac. It is easy-to-use and has a low resource impact, while being customizable enough to please more advanced users.

ProtectWorks AntiVirus was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible and simply rests in your menu bar, scanning for potential threats while running in the background. Whenever you want to scan a certain file or folder, you can right-click on them and select the app from the contextual menu.

The FileSafe feature enables you to exclude certain files or folders from being processed by the real-time scanning engine, and the app can even ignore all network locations.

If an event requires your attention, a notification is displayed on your desktop so you can take the appropriate action. The Quarantine lists all discovered threats, along with any available details, and you can either delete the files, attempt to repair them or clear the entries to ignore the warnings.

If you want to ensure your Mac remains clean at all times, you can have ProtectWorks AntiVirus scan certain locations at specified intervals, either monthly, weekly or daily. Moreover, the app can perform this operation every time virus definitions are updated, to ensure new threats are not ignored.

While the application does a good job of staying out of your way, you can analyze all events at any time by accessing the history log.

ProtectWorks AntiVirus is a comprehensive anti-malware solution that can help keep your Mac safe from malware, while having a low enough resource impact not to hinder other activities and staying out of your way until a threat is detected.
