It quickly grabs the latest build from Airo's servers. Once you've purchased your license and created your Airo account, you simply download and install the product. Webroot also handles dated systems, with support back to 10.7 (Lion). If legacy software or antique hardware requires you to stay with an old macOS version, you might consider ProtectWorks AntiVirus (for Mac) or ClamXAV, both of which go all the way back to 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Trend Micro really wants you up to date it only supports 10.13 (High Sierra) and later. Like Avira, Sophos, and Vipre, Airo supports macOS versions 10.11 (El Capitan) and later.

And for $59.99 per year, McAfee AntiVirus Plus (for Mac) lets you install protection on every Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS device in your household. The most common price-point for a single license is $39.99 that's what you pay for Bitdefender, Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac, ESET, Trend Micro, and Webroot.īetween $45 and $65 for three licenses is another sweet spot Bitdefender, ESET, Kaspersky, ProtectWorks, Vipre, and Webroot all fall in that range. Even ignoring these free options, Airo is on the high side, price-wise.

You don't have to pay a thing to protect your Mac with Avira, Avast, or Sophos. That's a nice touch, but a few macOS antivirus products are entirely free. You can try Airo for a week at no cost, with no need to give any personal details. In the cross-platform realm, you get five Norton licenses for $99.99, along with five no-limits licenses for Norton's VPN. Like Airo, Intego and ClamXAV are specific to the macOS platform. Intego costs $99.99 for three licenses, while ClamXAV (for Mac) costs just $29.99 for three. I'm glad the product looked rather expensive before that fix. My company contact pointed out that those prices are never used, and proved it by removing them from the pricing page. Originally I reported prices of $69.99, $99.99, and $129.99, since these were visible (though struck out) on the pricing page. Upping that to $69.99 gets you three licenses, and $89.99 brings the total to five. You pay $49.99 per year for a single Airo license. However, it's on the expensive side, and not all components are working yet as of this writing. This newcomer earned some impressive lab scores, and its attractive, lightweight design should appeal to Mac enthusiasts. It's refreshing, therefore, to see the arrival of Airo Antivirus for Mac on the market. Few companies focus specifically on macOS, and even fewer new Mac-specific products show up.

The proliferation of cross-platform security suite products has resulted in a Mac antivirus boom, as each vendor wants to promise protection on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
