Frequently asked questions.
While Mac devices are generally less vulnerable to viruses and malware than Windows devices, they are definitely not immune to online threats like viruses or malware such as ransomware and spyware. Mac devices can be infected, so it's crucial to use antivirus software, keep your system updated, and practice safe online behaviors to minimize the risk of infections.
We recommend choosing a trusted antivirus like Norton AntiVirus Plus. It helps provide comprehensive protection for Mac users against malware, phishing, and other online threats. It offers features like real-time threat detection, a password manager, and a user-friendly interface, making it a great choice for Mac users who are looking for greater peace of mind and online security.
It’s easy to scan your Mac for viruses with Norton AntiVirus Plus. Just sign in to your Norton account (or create a new Norton account), select the device you wish to protect, then download and install the Norton AntiVirus Plus software. After that, you’re ready to run your first antivirus scan by following the simple on-screen instructions.
While Macs are generally less prone to malware, it's essential to be vigilant. Signs of malware or virus infection on your Mac may include: performance issues, unexpected pop-ups, unwanted toolbars, a changed homepage or default search engine, password issues, unusual system behavior, apps installed on your Mac without your knowledge, and more. If you see any of these signs, immediately run a scan for malware before any potential infection can cause more damage.
The only way to better protect your Mac against viruses and malware is to download and install specialist antivirus software for Mac, like Norton AntiVirus Plus. Preventative action is always better than leaving your device open to attack and only reacting when it’s already too late.
