Moreover, Tuxguard Antivirus ended up attaining the lowest score out of the 10 (6 for performance, 4 for usability, and 0 for protection). However, it was given only 3.5 points for performance after evaluation. It managed to bag all 6 points in the usability and protection criteria. It was quite shocking to find out that Avira Antivirus Pro, a highly regarded security program didn’t perform as per the expectations.

Over the years, dangers and threats directed towards macOS users have surged. Remember when we were advised to switch to macOS since it offered better security than Windows? Apparently, the tides have turned and Apple users are now on the lookout for effective antiviruses for safeguarding their systems and data.
