Tells you how sure it is
An alert means worth a look, not “your Mac is infected”.
What Aegisrook does, and its known limitations
No security app catches everything. Here is exactly what to rely on Aegisrook for, and what not to.
Money back within 30 days.
One licence, three Macs.
What it does
Each alert explains what was found, and nothing changes without your approval.
Explains every alert
Which program it is, who made it, and the usual innocent reason it might be there.
Asks before it changes anything
Nothing is blocked or removed without you. Removed items go to the Trash, so you can get them back.
Remembers your answers
It won't ask you twice. You can review and change any decision in Settings.
Checks your Mac's own protections
FileVault, the macOS firewall, Gatekeeper and updates, with what to do if one is off.
Keeps everything on your Mac
No account and no tracking. The privacy page lists every service it ever contacts.
Known limitations
Aegisrook isn't an antivirus. These are the threats it isn't designed to detect.
Not an antivirus
Its malware checks use Apple's own XProtect rules, plus VirusTotal and ClamAV if you add them. Brand-new or targeted malware can get past all three.
Can't stop every scam
If you type your password into a convincing fake window, or install what a scammer sends you, it may not be able to help.
Can't see inside other apps
It won't see what you paste into Terminal, or know a password window is fake. It sees what happens next: a new startup item, a new permission, an upload.
Trusts signed apps
Apps signed by a known developer count as trusted, and attackers sometimes sign malware with stolen certificates.
Can miss very quick events
Some checks run about once a minute, so something that starts and stops within seconds can slip past.
Can't always tell you why
It sees that a program did something, not why. Some alerts will be harmless, and each one says when that's likely.
Can't see some Apple traffic
Parts of macOS don't pass through any app firewall, so those connections won't appear.
Only watches this Mac
It says nothing about your phone, your router, or anything else on your Wi-Fi.
False alarms
Some alerts will turn out to be harmless. That's most likely in the first few weeks, while Aegisrook learns what's normal on your Mac, and on developers' Macs, which do unusual things all day.
A couple of things help. Report a False Alarm on any alert writes a short report and opens an email, so the check can be fixed for everyone. And marking an item as known stops it asking again.
If you think you're being targeted
If you have real reason to believe someone is after you personally, such as a journalist, an activist or someone in a dispute, talk to a security professional.
No consumer app is a substitute for that, and Aegisrook won't pretend to be.
