Share on Facebook Tweet this Share 2014 has been a tumultuous year for personal security. Through the continuing revelations of NSA leaks, North Koreans shutting down Sony, and the big bad bug that made everyone’s Heart Bleed, the past twelve months have shown that the hairiest of hacks are almost always in the last place you’d think to look. But as long as you’re not planning on releasing a movie that depicts in the near future, you should be safe. Well, that partially depends on the operating system you use. I’ll weigh the pros and cons of privacy from the top four consumer operating systems, and help you decide which is the best choice for maintaining the safety, security, and privacy of your personal data while working and playing online. Only one can offer the best OS security of them all. Windows Windows has always enjoyed a stable (read: overwhelmingly dominant) slice of the PC market, and is already long past the point of needing to prove itself.
It enjoys the widest range of software around, too — a boon that’s also its curse. When talking about security it’s hard not to mention the many pitfalls of the Windows architecture. The same wide tundra of customization users have come to expect also makes it one of the most vulnerable operating systems around. Though it would be close to impossible to list all the security flaws found burrowed in its binary during the course of the past year, one needn’t look much further than as a prime example for what users should expect whenever they run a Windows variant on their home or business networks.
An SSL vulnerability which laid dormant in every version of the OS stretching back to the earliest iterations of Windows 3.1, the Schannel vulnerability shows that even after thousands of security updates, new builds, and from-the-ground-up certification audits, the sheer magnitude of what Windows offers means it will always be a little bit further behind the curve than the rest. And then there’s this: Microsoft from the company’s Patch Tuesday roster in March. System administrators everywhere collectively shuddered at the thought of what virus distributors would come up with to exploit an OS that makes up still.

If you appreciate our work, please leave us any feedback on the App Store. Thank you for all the support.:). Rockie Fan, Good app, use with reservations. For the most part BitMedic Pro works well.
I strongly advise new users to read the user guide and check all preference defaults. This app provides a reassuring level of protection. The only issue I’ve had is the very aggressive Mail Shield (one of the monitoring services under the Health Monitor).
To my dismay I found Mail Shield views all emails from credit card companies as threats or phishing. For years I have received bill ready to view online alerts. Mail Shield deletes or quarantines these emails. When I checked my accounts I was informed they were not able send emails to my address of record anymore. Pocket Bits online support did respond to my questions about quarantine, but I’ve found no way to modify this behavior. So - I leave Mail Shield turned off.
The other features work fine, and the last update speeded the opening of BitMedic dramatically. The browser adware cleaner also works well, but again, check preference defaults!

So overall I recommend BitMedic Pro. Roxinradri, Definitive protection, fast and effective, and responsive support team I have Malwarebyte on Windows and decided to take on BitMedic for MacBook Pro. The interface is very intuitive with complete separation of concerns that captures what an antivirus software should be doing in the background. Threats are quarantined in the folder of my choosing since I do not want the system level threats sitting in my user folder by default. Scans can be scheduled but also done adhoc, which is helpful when I just happen to download a file on the fly. The updates are not distracting; they run in the background and do not slow down the machine.
Once I upgraded from macOS Sierra to High Sierra, there was a glitch which resulted in an error about permission to locate the monitored volume. The BitMedic support team was very responsive, kind, and able to convey instructions about uninstalling and reinstalling the application over email. Keep up the good work!

Kneelj, The Internet is a scary place. It seems like there are too many sites where I get silly pop ups telling me my computer needs this or that or my computer has this or that. I’m not stupid enoungh to click on those popups but I thought better safe than sorry even though the Mac experts say you don’t need it so I bought BitMedic AntiVirus.I can’t tell that it has slowed my system any and it’s easy to use. It catches the eicar files of all kind and hopefully it’s going to catch anything that wants to find it’s way to my Mac. I had to help someone that clicked on something they shouldn’t have on their Mac and I spent over a hour researching and digging through folders and files to finally get rid of some silly popup that wouldn’t go away so I’m hopefull that BitMedic will save me some agravation.
