And from the Dashboard you can trigger a quick virus scan, which is actually quite thorough. The VPN will kick in if Clario detects you using an unprotected network. Once installed you can access information about the security of your Mac and monitor the status of your online accounts and personal data.

Set up is quick and painless with a wizard that takes you through configuration of all the key features while allowing you to evaluate the different options and determine which ones you want to enable. The three devices included in the plan can include a combination of Macs and iOS or Android devices. Payment is by subscription, and currently Clario has 54% off the usual $107.88 / £107.88 a year, so you can pay $50.00 / £50.00 a year (billed at $4.17 / £4.17 a month). Clario 1.5 for the Mac is much more than an antivirus package, it packs a healthy amount of security into one package, including real-time and on-demand malware scanning, ad blocking and website trackers, a VPN, and data breach monitoring to alert you if your email is caught and potentially exposed in a cyberattack.
