![]() ![]() Other antiviruses sometimes include extras like a password manager, but Airo AV sticks exclusively to antivirus protection. There are no extra features that come with Airo AV. These are standard features in top competitors such as Kaspersky and McAfee, although these other antiviruses aren’t designed specifically for protecting Mac computers (which Airo AV is). Unfortunately, the software has no firewall app, so it’s unable to protect against some of the biggest threats to Mac systems. This list is updated regularly, so your device will always be protected, even from newer threats. I don’t think it does a better job than Malwarebytes in this regard, but it’s still pretty good. I re-ran this test on my Mac, and Airo AV now scans all of the files on my system.Īiro AV’s browser extension does well when protecting against adware and phishing scams and has a large list of dangerous websites that it blocks. That’s why it’s great that Airo has updated its software to ask for full-disk access. This type of scan has the potential to leave users vulnerable to malware that may be hiding in system files. Since Airo AV didn’t ask for full-disk permission, it didn’t have this level of access. This lower scan number was due to Apple’s sandboxing rules which block software from seeing important system files. Update:Earlier versions of Airo AV had full scans which scanned fewer files on my system than competitors - about 1/5th what almost all the others I’ve tested have done. Airo AV Security FeaturesĪiro AV performs well when protecting against malware - it has a 100% malware detection and removal rate in all of SafetyDetectives’s tests - the same as more well-known brands like AVG and Bitdefender. I’ve tested almost 30 antivirus programs to be able to give you a complete look at all of the pros and cons in this detailed Airo AV review. The Mac-only Airo AV is known for its simple interface. But does it offer enough features to be worth the cost (even with a 30% off promo code)? Sure, it’s Mac-specific - which is rare for an antivirus - but does it have everything you need to keep your Mac protected from malware?
