However, threats targeting the Mac have increased by 400 % between 2023 and 2024 according to security reports. A third-party antivirus is recommended if you download software from outside the App Store, open attachments regularly or manage sensitive data. Malwarebytes (free one-off scan) is our minimum recommendation for all Mac users.\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"toc-box\">\n<strong>Contents<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#mythe\">The myth of the invulnerable Mac<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#protections-natives\">Native protection in macOS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#menaces-2026\">The real threats in 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#qui-a-besoin\">Who really needs antivirus software?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#comparatif-antivirus\">Comparison of the best Mac antivirus software<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#bonnes-pratiques\">10 best practices without antivirus<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#signes-infection\">How to tell if your Mac is infected<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"mythe\">The myth of the invulnerable Mac<\/h2>\n\n<p>In 2006, Apple advertised that there were no viruses on the Mac. Twenty years on, many users still believe this. But the reality is very different. Threats targeting macOS have exploded in recent years, and security reports confirm that Macs have become a profitable target for cybercriminals.<\/p>\n\n<p>Why this change? Three main factors: the market share of macOS has increased by 60 % in three years, making the platform more attractive to attackers. Malware kits targeting macOS are now available for a few hundred euros a month on the dark web. Above all, the sophistication of attacks has increased: targeted phishing, fake installers, ransomware and stealers capable of stealing passwords, crypto wallets and bank details.<\/p>\n\n<p>At R\u00e9paration MAC in Brussels, every month we treat Macs infected with adware, malicious browser extensions or spyware. The typical profile? A user who is convinced that their Mac is naturally protected and has downloaded software from an unofficial site.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"protections-natives\">Protection built into macOS<\/h2>\n\n<p>Apple is not standing still. macOS incorporates several layers of security that work in the background without you having to intervene.<\/p>\n\n<table class=\"tg-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Protection<\/th>\n<th>Role<\/th>\n<th>Limit<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">XProtect<\/span><span class=\"cell-desc\">Built-in anti-malware<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Detects and blocks known malware when downloading or running<\/td>\n<td>Only detects threats referenced by Apple (limited database vs. third-party antivirus)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Gatekeeper<\/span><span class=\"cell-desc\">Checking apps<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Checks that apps are signed and notarised by Apple before they are opened for the first time<\/td>\n<td>Can be bypassed if the user forces it to open (right-click then Open)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">SIP (System Integrity Protection)<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Protects critical system files from modification, even by the administrator<\/td>\n<td>Does not protect user files or third-party apps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Sandbox<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Isolate App Store apps to limit their access to data<\/td>\n<td>Does not apply to apps installed outside the App Store<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Firewall<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Blocks unauthorised incoming connections<\/td>\n<td>Deactivated by default, does not filter outgoing connections<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">MRT (Malware Removal Tool)<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Removes known malware detected by XProtect<\/td>\n<td>Runs only on reboot or during updates<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p>These protections form a solid defensive system, but they share a common weakness: they are reactive and ad hoc. XProtect checks files on entry but does not monitor continuously. Gatekeeper can be bypassed by the user. And none of these protections protect you against phishing, the number one threat in 2026.

Macs are targeted by adware, stealers, ransomware, phishing and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). The protections built into macOS reduce the risk but do not eliminate it.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Is XProtect enough to protect my Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>XProtect is effective against known malware referenced by Apple, but its signature database is more limited than that of specialist antivirus software. It checks files on entry but does not continuously monitor them. And it does not protect against phishing, the most common threat. For basic use with good practices, XProtect is sufficient. For high-risk users, an add-on is recommended.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>What's the best free antivirus for Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Malwarebytes is our recommendation. The free version provides highly effective on-demand scans for adware, PUPs and malware. For free real-time protection, Avast Security is an alternative, but its data collection policy raises questions. In any case, native macOS protection combined with a monthly Malwarebytes scan covers the needs of most users.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Does antivirus software slow down the Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Modern solutions such as Intego and Bitdefender have minimal impact on performance. Independent tests show a slowdown of 2 to 5 % on recent Macs (Apple Silicon). Heavier suites such as Norton can have a more noticeable impact, especially on older Macs. The free Malwarebytes version (one-off scan) has no impact on day-to-day use, as it is not running continuously.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>How do I activate the firewall on my Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Go to System Settings then Network then Firewall and activate it. It is deactivated by default on macOS. The firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections, which is an essential basic protection, especially if you use public Wi-Fi networks (caf\u00e9s, airports).<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>How do I know if my Mac has a virus?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Signs of infection include: unwanted pop-up ads, redirects to unknown sites, unexplained slowdowns, altered browser homepage, unknown apps in the Applications folder. Run a scan with Malwarebytes and check your browser extensions. If the symptoms persist, a <a href=\"https:\/\/reparationmac.be\/en\/mac-virus-removal\/\">professional virus cleaning<\/a> is recommended.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Do I need antivirus software on a new MacBook?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>A new MacBook benefits from the latest protection in macOS (updated XProtect, Gatekeeper, SIP). For standard use with good security practices, these protections are sufficient. However, we recommend installing Malwarebytes (free) to run a monthly preventive scan, and activating the firewall and FileVault from day one.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>What is FileVault and should I activate it?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>FileVault is macOS' full disk encryption system. Once activated, all data on the disk is encrypted and can only be accessed with your session password. This is essential if your Mac is lost or stolen. Activate it in System Settings then Privacy and Security then FileVault. On Apple Silicon Macs, FileVault is activated by default.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Do antivirus programs for Mac also detect Windows viruses?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Yes, most Mac antivirus software also detects Windows malware. This is useful if you share files with Windows-based colleagues or friends: your Mac could be the healthy carrier of an infected file that doesn't affect you but could infect a PC. Intego, Bitdefender and Norton detect threats on both platforms.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>How much does it cost for a professional to remove a virus from a Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>At R\u00e9paration MAC in Brussels, our <a href=\"https:\/\/reparationmac.be\/en\/mac-virus-removal\/\">virus and malware removal<\/a> is available from \u20ac75 inc VAT.
