In addition to analyzing how the security tools took aim at Mac malware, AV-TEST said it also wanted to see how they could fend off Windows-focused malware.
Those were the only two apps that didn't get certified by AV-TEST. And in a downright terrible showing, Webroot's SecureAnywhere could only detect and remove 22.6 percent of the Mac threats it faced. According to AV-TEST, F-Secure SAFE could only detect 64.5 percent of the malware samples that could wreak havoc on a Mac.

If you're using Avast Mac Security, Intego Mac Internet Security X9, Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac, or Symantec's Norton Security, you'll get what AV-TEST calls, "good but not flawless detection." All four of those applications were able to detect 96.8 percent of all Mac-malware threats they faced.
In addition to detecting those threats, the security tools were able to fully remove all the malware samples, leaving macOS Sierra in good shape in AV-TEST's testing. According to AV-TEST, four security software packages - AVG AntiVirus, Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac, SentinelOne Next Generation Endpoint Security Software, and Sophos Home - were able to detect 100 percent of any Mac malware the company threw at them.
