Just press activate (might take some time if you have a lot of things on your hard drive). Turn on FileVault by following the same procedure as earlier, but this time got to 'FileVault' instead of 'Firewall'. Moreover, in the Firewall settings, activate 'Stealth Mode' by marking/checking the box in the settings'. This is done by going to: Settings -> Security and Integrity -> Firewall. Turn on the firewall (which is turned off as standard).
I should also mention that Mac OS has a built-in 'Anti-Malware' program, called XProtect, that runs/updates under the hood on your Mac (even if it probably isn't as good as a frequently updated AV-program).įurthermore, there are some 'security things' that you should have turned on: You seriously don't need any anti-virus on your Mac, it will just hog up resources.
