Works extremely well

This app was able to find nasty files in my Mac mini that had slowed it down. The infection was many years old, left from the old MacCleaner software.

Great customer support

My MacBook caught a nasty virus that redirected my default to rogue search engines… After a few hours a chap called Tom emailed me… Once they had the data, they updated their database and asked me to run a quick scan. The app found the pesky virus almost immediately and now all is well.

Antivirus Zap

I have been getting warnings that I had a virus but ignored it for a while. Antivirus Zap immediately found 8 malware/infected files and got rid of them. I will be using the application on a regular basis.

Removed MacPerformance

I went to a web site and it said that I needed Flash Player updated… the installer actually installed something called MacPerformance… I started to notice extensions appearing in Safari and other weird things going on. Antivirus Zap quickly detected it and allowed me to delete the files.

Trusted virus scanner

Easy to use and always sorts out any bugs lurking on my computer. The support service has also been incredibly responsive and helpful when I had cause to use them in the past.

Affordable and effective!

I had malware causing my Google searches to redirect to Bing - not a huge deal but still super annoying. This app had it sorted in a matter of minutes.

Adware found!

Great, easy to use and found 8 adware programs on my Mac.

Thorough and reliable app

I use this software regularly to swiftly and thoroughly remove adware, phishing emails and malware. Each time I run it, it updates its database of malware, to keep up to date. It always seems to find something and I can quickly remove the threats.

Great app

Very user friendly and easy to use. When I encountered a virus the app couldn’t deal with I emailed their help services and got advice within a day that solved the issue.

Amazing

I spent months with my Mac saying that the OS is infected with malware. This app took 2 minutes to scan my laptop and found 17 viruses.

Fixed it!

My browser was being hijacked. This app fixed it quickly. (Due to my own fault, I emailed them with questions - they replied very quickly.)

Great app and value for money

I’ve been using this for a year or two and it’s easy to use, very effective and is much better than other much more expensive apps I’ve used previously.

The best so far

I tried Antivirus Zap, and it found 18 viruses when I did the full scan… I like that it has options: light scan, normal scan and full scan. It also has other useful features. I would highly recommend Antivirus Zap.

This one works

When I clicked on Apple, a rogue page appeared pretending to be Apple and instructing me to call a number immediately… I came across this Antivirus Zap, bought it, installed, ran scans and somewhere it found and removed the infected file… An email to support brought a quick reply with instructions for proceeding, I did that and the problem was solved.

Helped clean my computer of all infected files

I had this virus on my computer called Torvi and it kept redirecting me to different pages and also giving me unwanted pop-up windows… Not only did Antivirus Zap find the infected file but also 50 other infected files that I had no idea were hiding in my computer.

Problems reviewers fixed with Antivirus Zap

  • Search engine switching to Bing or another site. A browser hijacker changes your search settings. Browser Restore Scan removes the extension and resets the browser.
  • Fake “Flash Player update” installers. They install adware such as MacPerformance. A Quick Scan finds the files it left behind.
  • Pop-ups claiming your Mac is infected. These scare pages push fake support numbers. Never call them; scan instead.
  • A Mac that has become slow. Old adware and leftover helpers can run in the background for years.
