House Defender Mac OS

Microsoft Defender ATP is GA since June 28, 2019 and no clear tutorial or implementation guide has been written before! I hope this clarify the simplicity of this implementation!

  • Oct 17, 2019 It’s even being trialled for macOS under the name Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) for Mac, although the focus there is primarily to serve mixed-OS business environments.
  • Every single Mac Pro owner I know (and I have and still use a cheesegrater Mac Pro) also has a Mac laptop since, you know, Mac Pro's are far from portable. And even if I didn't, as a Mac user I have many Mac friends I could bum a laptop off of for the 10 minutes it would take to swap an SSD and install.

Defender Pro's trusted antivirus is now available for your Mac! Defender Pro protects your family or small business from serious viruses that threaten your personal information. Let Defender Pro keep your Mac running safely and smoothly. Surf, shop, and bank online with total peace of mind. Defender Pro keeps you and your Mac safe – guaranteed.
