Bitdefender, the best tool for our Mac to be protected

Despite the fact that many users today are still determined that macOS, and previously OS X, are operating systems invulnerable to viruses, the truth is the opposite. Friends of others have always focused on developing tools to attack Microsoft's operating system in its different versions, not because it is more vulnerable, but because it is the most widely used operating system in the world.

Being the most widely used operating system in the world, the chances of infecting a greater number of users is greater. It's all about math. However, in recent years, it is increasingly common to see how Macs, a product that is often associated with users with high purchasing power due to its price, have become a succulent cake for friends of others. If you want to protect your Mac at all times, Bitdefender is the best tool that we can currently find on the market.

I'm from Mac is a blog in which we mainly talk about Macs and their operating system. In recent years we have informed you about the different security problems suffered by this platform, Such as malware that captures DNS, malware that was made with the camera and took screenshots, problems of malware in Microsoft Word macros and in app downloads from outside the Mac App Store, a virus that made our hard drive useless... and so we could be all day, you just have to do a search on the blog. All these security problems show that the Mac has become a priority for the friends of others, in case anyone had any doubts and continues to live in the utopia of the security of Macs compared to Windows PCs.

Viruses, malware, Trojans, ransomware

Friends of others have at their disposal a large number of tools to try to get our data, including the encryption of our data in exchange for an economic amount, known as Ransomware. These types of attacks block access in addition to encrypting all the data on our hard drive in exchange for a password that we will only be able to obtain if we give in to blackmail and pay the amount they request. The biggest problem is that nobody assures us that once we have paid, we will regain access to our information.

As you have seen in the previous point, malware has become another of the tools most used by hackers, since they are in charge of carrying out specific tasks to access the data that we have stored on our computer, or to record all the information that we can enter in secure web pages to make payments and thus send them later to send it to other servers without our noticing at no time, unless our computer is protected.

Viruses and Trojans, for a few years, have become practically a disused toolSince the time when hackers were bored and wanted to do evil on the Internet is over and now what they are looking for is to profit from everything. The best method to do this is by relying on malware and ransomware, as well as specific scripts that can sneak into web pages that are dedicated to conducting economic transactions, in order to record all the data that is entered, including data from our credit card.

What does Bitdefender offer us?

Bitdefender offers us as the main novelty, compared to previous editions, multilayer protection against ransomware. Multi-layer protection offers us several layers of protection so that we do not have to worry at any time about our data, files or money. The new feature called Safe files It offers us a preventive layer against any ransomware-type attack that has the intention of encrypting the most sensitive information on our device, acting as a shield in which all the files on our computer are stored.

This shielding prevents no one can write or modify those files if they do not have authorization from the user. In addition, it also allows us to add or remove trusted applications that can access our data and files, if applicable. Bitdefender also offers Time Machine Protection that, in combination with the Safe Files feature, provides an extra level of security against ransomware. Time Machine Protection guarantees that all the backups we make will be completely safe because the ransomware will not have access to them.

Bitdefender features

• Multi-layered ransomware protection, preventing our files and more valuable information from being modified by external applications.
• Block and remove annoying adware. Adware does not usually present serious security problems, but it is a nuisance when browsing or using applications, since it constantly shows us invasive full-screen advertising.
• Doesn't slow down. Bitdefender is characterized by not offering us loss of performance at any time on our computer, one of the fears that users always have when using software to protect the computer.
• Provides uninterrupted protection with Bitdefender Autopilot. Bitdefender Autopilot protection protects our computer at all times while we are browsing or downloading content from the Internet, so that no malicious software gets into our Mac at any time.
• Protect your online purchases. Malicious scripts can sneak into the web pages from which purchases are made and their mission is none other than to capture all the data that is entered in it, mainly those related to credit cards to be able to use them later in fraudulent online purchases. Bitdefender is responsible for analyzing the payment websites to track if any script of this type is found.
• Cuts Mac Malware. Malware is another major problem that we face on a daily basis when we browse the Internet and it continues to be one of the main problems that can put the integrity of our data and our Mac in general at risk.
• Provides a 24/7 on-call service cloud-based. Bitdefender offers us immediate protection against any new threat that can be detected, thanks to cloud-based technology that works to detect and eliminate threats, providing us with instant protection on a global scale.

Bitdefender requirements

To be able to enjoy all the advantages that it offers us Bitdefender for Mac, our device must be running a version equal to or greater than OS X 10.9.5, have at least 1 GB of RAM memory and 400 MB of free space on our hard drive. As we can see from the requirements requested by the application, Bitdefender is not a resource hog and we will barely realize that it is working in the background until it detects a threat and presents us with the corresponding report.

How much does Bitdefender cost

Bitdefender offers us a free trial of 30 days with which we can check all the functions and features that I have discussed in this article. Once the 30-day trial has elapsed, the application will stop working unless we choose to buy the corresponding license, a license that we can use on 1 or 3 Macs, if we have more than one computer in our home or deal. The price of an annual license for 1 Mac is priced at € 39,99 including VAT. But if we opt for a license for 3 Macs, Bitdefender currently offers it to us for only 38,99 euros, one euro cheaper than the license for a single Mac.

If we only have one Mac in our home, we can buy the license for 3 Mac between three friends and take advantage of this great offer, so that it is cheaper for us to be protected at all times against the threats that are found every day on the Internet. Bitdefender also offers us the possibility of buying a 2 or 3-year license, licenses that are priced for 58,49 devices of 84,49 euros and 2 euros respectively. If we do not have friends with Mac, we can opt for the 38-year license for a computer for 99 euros or the license for computers for 58,49 euros. All prices already include VAT.
