FAQs

Is the free version enough?

The free version scans and removes threats you run it against. Paid plans add always on protection and extra features.

Does it replace keeping macOS updated?

No. It works alongside Apple built in protections. Keeping macOS and your apps updated still matters.

Will it slow my Mac down?

It is built to stay light during normal use, though any scan will use some system resources while it runs.
