I would like to share my experience with you and talk about viruses created for Mac devices and how to deal with them. You may say that Mac does not have viruses because Apple does not allow it. However, I would say that there are many types of malware, such as adware, which can open new tabs in your browser browser, redirect you to irrelevant pages, and show lots of popups.

Yes, these are not real viruses. Adware, such as Search Marquis, cannot clone itself and affect other connected devices. It cannot encrypt your files or cause any other harm. Its functionality is limited to web redirects and excessive advertising. At the same time, who knows which rogue websites the adware will download to you next time. You may end up on a phishing website that harvests cyber crooks with personal information that can lead to identity theft.

Fake antiviruses

I strongly recommend that you remove all adware that has infiltrated your device. But there is a problem here. If you want to get rid of Mac adware, you may not find a solution right away. If you go to Google and search for how to get rid of Mac malware, you will find that all the best results are offered by buying and installing some Nigu software. In fact, these Mac antiviruses do nothing, because the Apple ecosystem does not allow apps to access other apps' data. No antivirus can scan or scan your files.

Most rogue software works with bugs and vulnerabilities in your computer's operating system. Makos also has its own bugs. To fix this, Apple releases periodic operating system updates. To date, Makos has not been able to lure cybercriminals and malicious developers with malware.

Care Tips

To avoid any surprises, it is recommended that you regularly update your OS and all installed applications.
You should never install apps from Apple's official app stores that are not controlled by Apple.
One way to infiltrate adware into your Mac is through bundled installations. Most of the time you download and install a very useful application that is native, but in reality, you will get many applications. People never read user agreements written in small print. Notice that you agree to install additional tools and give them some rights. Whenever you install something, be careful and read user agreements, and do not lose any extra software.
Do not install any software without an urgent need. Any additional software widens the attack surface.
To do bad things, users need to perform certain actions on the current Mac malware - grant rights. Therefore, be careful not to allow any application to access your data and change settings.
Making backups is a wise move. ICloud or standard flash drives can help prevent your data from being lost in the event of a system crash or malware attack.
Final advice - use VPNs. Your connection will be encrypted, and attackers will not be able to find out where you actually are or what data your traffic contains.
