Product

ProtectWorks AntiVirus is antivirus software for macOS that detects Mac and non-Mac viruses, spyware, trojans, worms and adware on the computer, network drives and external disks, and in downloads and email. The Scan View displays all the scans that have been setup, it shows all the standard Device and Location scans for your computer and any user-defined Location scans and Scheduled scans that you have configured. Multiple scans can run simultaneously and the status and progress of any running scan will be shown in the window. The Quarantine Manager provides details of any threat that has been found and allows you take the appropriate action, such as delete or repair the file. It runs on macOS.

Vendor

ProtectWorks was a small American developer of Mac security software, and ProtectMac AntiVirus was its product: a conventional real-time antivirus for macOS at a time when few existed, sold with a perpetual licence rather than an annual subscription — unusual then and rarer now. There is little sign of recent development or support, and the product should be treated as dormant unless the vendor confirms otherwise. Mac security software has a long history of products that were maintained by one or two people and quietly stopped; an antivirus that is no longer updated is worse than none, because it reports protection it cannot provide. This entry is a candidate for withdrawal from this index, and a buyer should verify that the product is still sold and still receiving detection updates before considering it. Vendor page →
