Bitdefender Virus Scanner
Universal version seen at v3.18 · Reported by 15 Macs in the community.
Bitdefender Virus Scanner is a free, lightweight malware detection tool for Mac that scans for both Mac-specific threats and Windows viruses. It's designed for users who want on-demand security scanning without the overhead of continuous real-time protection. The app features hourly virus definition updates, the ability to scan inside archives and various file types (PDF, PKG, ZIP, RAR, etc.), and offers both quick scans of vulnerable system areas and deep system scans. It's particularly useful for Mac users who occasionally download files from untrusted sources or want to verify their system is clean.
