Virus Scanner Plus

Virus Scanner Plus is a handy tool if you own a Mac. While Apple’s Gatekeeper is good for keeping your system safe by allowing only apps from the App Store, it doesn't catch everything. It won't detect viruses or threats that come from outside of applications, especially those made for different operating systems. That's why having an extra layer of security like Virus Scanner Plus is super important!

Scanning Made Easy

This app is created by Bitdefender and helps you scan your Mac to find any lurking threats. It uses virus definitions that get updated every hour, so you're always protected against the latest dangers.

Automatic Updates and Custom Settings

You can choose to have updates done automatically before each scan, or if you prefer, just hit the “Update Now” button in the main window whenever you want to update.

How to Handle Infections

If Virus Scanner Plus finds something suspicious, you have options! You can either ignore it or try to clean it up right there. If that doesn’t work out, the harmful file will be sent to quarantine where it can't cause any more trouble.

Smart Scanning Options

If you're short on time, this software lets you scan only new or changed files and even set a size limit on archives. You can also make your own exclusion list if there are certain files you want to keep safe.

Different Scan Modes

The app has several scanning modes:

• Scan Critical Locations: This mode checks areas most likely to be infected.


• Deep System Scan: This one dives deep into your entire drive.


• Scan a Custom Location: You can pick specific folders to check out.

Catching More Than Just Applications

A cool feature of Virus Scanner Plus is that it looks beyond just apps. It scans archives and files like PDFs too! So you're really getting thorough protection.

If you've got the demo version of Bitdefender Virus Scanner and want to uninstall it completely, make sure to follow the developer's instructions.

Your Safety Matters! With Virus Scanner Plus, you get basic scanning features plus continuous analysis powered by Bitdefender’s virus database. You'll know right away if anything threatens your Mac's safety!
