An old name on the antivirus market, Bitdefender has proven to be a trustworthy choice when it comes to the protection it offers, and the macOS app is no different. It secures your device against local and web-based threats, and it comes with a pretty intuitive UI.

The app also lacks many of the unnecessary tools now included in some other security solutions, except for a VPN, but you can just uninstall it if you're not interested. Other than that, Bitdefender Antivirus is remarkably lightweight.

Antivirus comparative tests for macOS aren't as common as on Windows, but Bitdefender's Antivirus has participated plenty of times, and always with great results.

It has achieved a nearly perfect protection score in nearly every AV-TEST evaluation for three years in a row, which is no small feat. Clearly, when it comes to virus protection, Bitdefender is a safe choice.

It's worth appreciating that you get exactly what's in the name — an Antivirus. No password managers, junk cleaners, and so on. The main interface is very clean, and you can handle all the important features from the Dashboard.

You can easily manage scans and the included anti-ransomware modules, while the web protection and anti-tracker features are optional, as you need to install the TrafficLight and Anti-tracker extensions in your browser for them to be functional.

Unfortunately, the Bitdefender VPN is installed automatically, but you can just run the uninstaller to remove it and keep the antivirus. While the VPN could be helpful, the low daily traffic limit makes it pretty useless without a Premium subscription.

Bitdefender offers an impressive macOS app, with a straightforward layout and enough customization options for most users. It sticks to what it does best without bundling a ton of unnecessary tools. Overall, this antivirus is one of the best options available for Mac users, especially when it comes to the protection it offers.
