スキャンの動作方針

Sophos Hone Edition から乗り換え。El Capitan にて使用。 ウイルス付き添付ファイルが多数ある迷惑メールフォルダで色々動かしてみたところ、動作の方針に少々わかりにくい部分があると感じたので書いておきます。 この話で注意するべき設定は、 Continuous Scan : ON, Scan only new and changed files : ON まず常駐保護について。 1.メールを開く:検出しない 2.ウイルス付き添付ファイルをダウンロードフォルダに保存:検出しない 3.Zipファイルをダブルクリック:検出する 次に、ウイルス付き添付ファイルをダウンロードフォルダに保存した状態での手動Scanについて。 1.Scan Critical Locations:検出しない 2.Deep System Scan:検出しない 3.Scan a Custom Location でダウンロードフォルダをスキャン:検出する ただし、Scan only new and changed files をOFF にした場合、2のDeep System Scan ではダウンロードフォルダ以外のファイルもろとも検出される。この設定がONだと上記のように一切検出されない。全然Deepじゃない。  疑問に思うのは、「new and changed files 判別の基準」「ダウンロードフォルダって Critical じゃないのか?」など。圧縮フォルダに対しても「ギリギリまで反応しない」というあたりを見ると、動作が軽い理由も分かる気がする。  設定次第ではきちんと検出してくれるようなので使い方次第だろうか。今までウイルスが検出されたことがないという方は、Preferences で Scan only new and changed files をOFF(チェックを外す)か、初期設定のままなら Scan a Custom Location で Macintosh HD 全体を指定してスキャンしてみることをお勧めする。  シンプルな構成であることや、App Store から購入できるのは好感が持てる。

Way to hard on CPU

can’t stop app from scanning anything connected to computer. This puts a very heavy load on the cpu. Even with only minimal access granted the app still scans any external drive. excellent detection no false positives but too hard on the cpu to tolerate.

Elementary Interface with Options for Settings

Major disappointment. Crashed the first time I ran it. I’ve used eSet, Integro, Avast and all have far more options to set up. This had zero. Really Apple I can’t believe you let this be sold in the App store for $29.99. Shame on you too. It’s a total and complete waste of money. This is not the same Bitdefender program that has been rated highly in 2016 and 2017 as the “Gold” standard for Apple Mac antivirus. Are refunds possible? Contacting Apple to inquire.

Better than Comcast Norton Internet Security

With the recent updates to Norton’s Internet Security and Comcast not rolling out the latest version, Norton was throwing up more windows to do basic things than ever before (i.e.: repeatedly promting to install Safari extensions even though it was already installed). Moved to Bitdefender and it’s been solid and bast of all, doesn’t continuously interrupt me when I’m on my Mac. This is basically the same version as the downloadable version from Bitdefender, but at the time, was $10 cheaper and the app store lets you use this up to 5 macs. Albeit, you don’t get access to the Bitdefender management console (at least not that I’m aware of). Did some testing and it’s found some of the basic vulnerabilities I threw at it. Pros: cheap price, same level of protection Cons: no access to the central Bitdefender management console, so no management across other Bitdefender products (i.e.: Bitdefender Box) Conslusion: worh it!

So far so good

It’s impossible to know how good a virus scanner is. It has found two on my system. And it updates its database frequently. The complaints about external hard drives being scanned aren’t warranted. You can exclude them in the preferences under exclusions.

Service Error 22

Bought and installed it yesterday morning. It never works. Every time I starts the program, A message box pops up suggesting "The operation couldnt be completed. (Couldnt start the services error 22.) It also suggests I should contact the support team. When called, the agent kept asking for the registration number, which Apple App Store hadnt provided me with. They promised to email me back but never did. What a scam!

Works PERFECTLY (Jan 22nd/2014)

Not sure what your problem is, but I downloaded this and installed it and not only does it work perfectly but I was very impressed by its features and simplicity to use. Great work guys! Thanks!

Works without infringing

I feel annoyed by most anti virus programs, but this App runs in the bachground without infringing upon usability of my computer nor hampering the browsing experience. I will install it on all my Macs.

Worth every penny

I like it because you don’t know is there for you. Works perfect !

Easy on resources

I usually hate antivirus software because they hog the resources and slow down a computer. Not so with Bitdefender. My computer runs as fast as the day I bought it. Great program with no problems at all.

Terrible - CANT UNINSTALL

I have gone to the bitdefender website, and followed the instructions there, however I can not install thius software. Save yourself the trouble, don’t install it!!

user

nice, installedquick, works well, love it. thx

Garbage App!

Did not do anything - not worth the money

Works for Windows files too!

Great app. Scans the files quickly and very easy to use. Once I granted it acces to all of my drives, not only it scanned all the files of my Mac drive but also scanned the files of Windows on my Bootcamp drive. Even though my Mac was clean of any viruses it found a virus on my Windows partition! The app updates the virus definition files automatically and you can also enable the continuous scan option to detect threats in real time. I found it to be a useful app.

Works Great!

I downloaded this last year and wanted to wait before I reviewed it. This program will scan everything and notifys you that it has deleted stuff that are harmful. I was impressed with the fact that it can block trojans from your email if you open them by accident. Really good app if you want a little peace of mind.

I think

Good! I think that this software is the best choice of the stable anti-virus at present. …in my system OSX10.8.5

マルチユーザーでの使用について

Note Virus Scanner Plus can take actions on current users files only. Infected files owned by other users cannot be cleaned or quarantined by this app. Such files will be reported as unresolved issues.  Help より引用しましたが、マルチユーザーで使用する場合は、それぞれのユーザーで設定を行う必要がありそうです。  この点を除けば、他社製品で全く検知出来なかった Windows ウイルスが数百件も検知され、大変驚いています。実害は無いとはいえ、自分の MacBook Air がいつのまにか Windows ウイルスまみれになっていたことを恥ずかしく思います。最初の設定時にハードディスク全体を監視対象にすることを強く御勧めします。

Effecient

Simple yet powerful. I have a Mac Mini and I use heavy apps like Photoshop and this program does not slow down the computer. This is the first anti virus with any kind of real time protection to run this smoothly after my testing. With all the new trojans arriving, it is good to have this so I can know if what I download is safe or not. It detects Mac and Windows trojans, viruses, and even hack tools.

Better safe than sorry!

As Mac users, we aren’t as prone to viruses as PC users, but it’s always safe to protect yourself against the few Mac viruses lingering out there! Bitdefender also detects any Windows viruses to keep you from sharing malicious files to other users. Continuous scan works well, and doesn’t seem to slow my Mac down at all. All in all, sounds like $15 well spent! Thanks, Bitdefender.

Good scanner does have a crash bug

This is one of the better Virus Scanners in the store. Unfortunately it has a intermittent crash bug on Scan. Without the Bug this is a 5 Star scanner, developers please fix; I submitted a bug report.
