Spotting fake Mac antivirus software is easy if you’re vigilant. First, always verify the authenticity of the antivirus through its official website and avoid downloading antiviruses from pop-ups or emails. Secondly, credible antivirus software like Intego will always provide detailed information about its security features and have positive user reviews — so keep an eye out for that. Thirdly, be wary of software that generates alerts demanding immediate action (such as pop-ups saying your Mac is infected). This is a common scare tactic. Finally, legitimate antivirus software will not be excessively cheap — so if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
