There were a few instances where extra files were left over including some DMG files but whenever we tried to install these they were either empty shells or Bitdefender immediately deleted them.īitdefender also did fine with third-party tests. During our spot tests, Bitdefender had no trouble detecting and deleting malware after it was extracted from a ZIP file. More important than looks, however, is how Bitdefender performs.
Regardless, the basic structure is the same as what we have on Windows, and the new look is far better than what Bitdefender for Mac presented the last time we looked. The interface has been totally overhauled, and it may be again soon as the current version on Mac is slightly behind the look of its Windows counterpart.
That was more than two years ago, however, and moving into 2021 Bitdefender is an entirely different beast. We found some protection issues that were later ameliorated, but we weren’t impressed with the interface. The last time we looked at Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac we had concerns.
