What you get
Understand your Mac’s security gaps and get guidance on reducing them.
You get a clearer picture of how well your Mac is protected and what you can improve. Moonlock checks which security tools are active, recommends changes, and updates your protection level as you act. You can follow step-by-step instructions to adjust macOS security settings rather than search for separate tutorials.
When you find hidden malware, you can learn what kind it is, why it matters, and what to do next. A history of removed threats helps you spot recurring patterns and make more informed decisions about files you download.
You can also hide your IP address behind a VPN server’s address and block connections to regions you don’t need to reach. Alongside these controls, you get practical advice on habits such as choosing stronger passwords and checking links before opening them.
