MacScan
MacScan is a security and system utility for macOS that scans for malware, unwanted adware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and system vulnerabilities. It provides real-time monitoring, quarantine features, and cleanup tools intended to help users maintain a secure and optimized Mac. The app targets home users concerned about malware protection and system health.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear evidence of whether MacScan has been updated to a native Apple Silicon build. The search results available are minimal and outdated — the most recent information dates to 2021, well before Apple Silicon was mainstream. To determine your path forward, contact SecureMac directly to ask whether a native build of MacScan 3 exists or is planned, since the Intel-only version will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If the vendor has stopped developing MacScan, consider moving to an actively maintained native alternative such as Malwarebytes for Mac or Avast Security for Mac, both of which run natively on Apple Silicon and receive regular updates.
