. Pros Scans attached iOS devices for malware.

Antivirus protection. Cons No URL scanning. No firewall protection. No Parental control tools. Bottom Line Panda brings antivirus protection to both your Mac and attached iOS devices in this svelte package. Apple users should know that their Macs are susceptible to viruses and malware just like any other computer.

That's why Panda Security released Panda Antivirus for Mac ($49.95), a security app that watches out for Apple malware and can even protect your iOS device, too. We look forward to testing it soon. Made for Mac Panda's developers have opted for a very clean design with devices on the left rail (usually, the computer you're on and any connected iOS devices).

Specific files you wish to scan also appear in the left rail. Panda features large buttons for both full and quick scans, and toggles for real-time and scheduled scanning. Virus Protection Panda Antivirus for Mac includes a variety of way to set up scanning. On-demand scanning, for example, starts a scan at the click of your mouse and checks through your Mac for anything suspicious. This includes all your files, as well as your email, which is a favorite hiding spot for malicious attachments. You can also direct Panda to scan specific files or directories. Alternatively, you can choose a quick scan, which searches just the most likely locations for malicious files.

Panda also includes a scheduled-scanning tool, which lets you select when to run either a quick scan or a full scan. You can also configure the scheduled scanner to search specific folders on a regular schedule.

For continuous protection, Panda offers real-time scanning. When enabled, this feature continuously analyzes files being saved or accessed on your Mac. Once it's toggled on, you can chose how to handle any suspicious files it discovers. You can opt for Panda to automatically attempt to repair the file or place the suspicious file in Quarantine.

You can also configure Panda to ask you what to do with each suspicious file or even send you an email—handy if Panda is scanning a computer that you don't use all the time. Like, Panda uses its quarantine feature to store potentially dangerous files. If you discover that Panda has flagged a safe file, you can easily restore it and tell Panda to trust the file to avoid false positives in the future. This is a handy feature for home developers (home-brewed software is likely to ring alarm bells, since the software won't recognize it), or for anyone using older or arcane software. In addition to identifying and blocking Mac malware, Panda also keeps a watchful eye out for Windows malware. These files probably can't do any actual damage to an Apple computer, but they're not helping you either. Also, more sophisticated Windows malware can sometimes jump from a Mac to a Windows machine via email or thumb drive.

To ensure that your Mac has the latest protection, Panda automatically updates its virus-signature file via the Internet. This requires a functioning connection to work properly, but it takes the hassle out of updating your AV software. However, it's a bit unusual that Panda uses virus-signature files at all on the Mac, because the of the software is entirely cloud-based. IOS Protection If you have an iOS device—an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad—Panda can scan it for malicious files as well. All you have to do is connect the device to a Mac with Panda installed on it and run a scan. This appears to require that your iOS files be transferred over to your Mac for scanning, and may require additional disk space. Also, because Panda can only protect your device while it's connected, real-time scanning of your iOS device is obviously not possible.

While malware is a rarity on iOS, the platform is still vulnerable to attack. We recommend that iOS users install as one layer of defense against network attacks.

Be sure to read our reviews of and our roundup of the best. Detecting malicious files is a good start, but some security apps go even further by controlling the flow of information into and out of your Mac with a firewall.

Panda has no such features, whereas, among others, does include firewall tools. For more on firewalls, see and our roundup of the best. While Panda does protect you from Windows and Mac malware, it doesn't address the biggest attack vector of all: Web browsing. Most Mac AV apps include a safe-browsing module that alerts you to websites that attempt to install malicious apps in addition to phishing sites, known scams, and other threats. Bitdefender, Trend Micro, and Norton all have this area covered, in addition to providing a URL reputation tool that alerts you to bad links in search engine results. That way, you're less likely to be directed towards malicious content. We look forward to fully testing Panda Antivirus in the labs soon.
