AntiVirus Zap made it so easy to remove malicious malware from my brand new MacBook Pro. I was having a very annoying problem where every time I started a google search it redirected to a bing search. I downloaded the app and immediately started and ran the program. It took about 15 minutes to scan my brand new computer but it found the infected software and removed it. If it could not be removed by the app itself, I was given simple directions so I could delete the infected/malicious software as well. I cannot recommend the AntiVirus Zap app enough. It is simply incredible. Thanks to everyone who developed it. Have a great 2019.
Thank Goodness for this app! I was ready to lose my mind trying to figure out how this happened. In my preferences it said google was my search and I could not find bing anywhere. After I finished the scan I should have restarted my computer and I didn't and bing was still searching. I wrote the support team and I got the answer that resolved the problem. I ran the scan again and restarted the computer and it was gone. Tom was so helpful and kind. I am so thankful to the app and amazing support team. Thank You Tom!
For a week I have been driving myself nuts attempting to fix whatever issue plagued my computer. I am very suspicious of any pop ups and ads. Never touch them. Using my own computer savvy and apple forum resources, I could never find the suspected files. In fact, I was most certain I had fixed the issue, but not before I messed up ALL of my other settings..this out of desperation. I just completed a quick scan and it identified 29 adware and other threats which included the elusive MacCleanUp files loaded onto my hard drive. Some of the files could not be removed via the program itself, however the Antivirus Zap directory did the work for me. It searched and directed me to the exact folder, which I could put in the trash myself. I deleted the trash and hope for no further issues. I am writing this review as I am completing this but confident this will be the last of the PUP.
This zero'ed in on two malware/adware programs that had latched onto my computer. One of them seemed to keep returning, so I contacted support, attached the log file, and was recommended to try the browser restore scan then do a restart, which worked. The fact that it works as well as it does, as affordable as it is, and as straight forward as it is, is impressive enough. But to have support follow up with a genuine interest in resolving the issue is something extremely rare to come by these days. I can honestly say: don't bother with anything else.
I had this virus on my computer called Torvi and it kept redirecting me to different pages and also giving me unwanted pop-up windows. I am not very experienced when it comes to computers and navigating through finder to find the Torvi file in itself would be a nearly impossible task in its own. As a result, I decided to try this program out to save myself the time and most importantly my precious computer. Not only did Antivirus Zap find the infected file but also 50 other infected files that I had no idea were hiding in my computer. Paying only 6 dollars to ensure that your computer runs smoothly is not only worth it but I believe it's a necessity. You never know what can be lurking in your computer, especially unapproved spyware. That being said, I strongly recommend this program to anyone facing computer difficulties or to anyone that just wants to clean their computer. The only downside to this program is that it does not give you an estimated time on how long the scan will take. However, you can pause the scan at any time and immediately delete the infected files the scan found.
Don't be fooled by fake antivirus apps heavily promoted by scareware and popups. Get our app from the Apple App Store.

Basic features of ZAP
In Microsoft 365 organizations with mailboxes in Exchange Online, zero-hour auto purge (ZAP) is an email protection feature that retroactively detects and neutralizes malicious phishing, spam, or malware messages that have already been delivered to Exchange Online mailboxes.
ZAP doesn't work in standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) environments that protect on-premises Exchange mailboxes.
How ZAP works
Spam and malware signatures are updated in the service real-time on a daily basis. However, users can still receive malicious messages for a variety of reasons, including if content is weaponized after being delivered to users. ZAP addresses this issue by continually monitoring updates to the spam and malware signatures in the service. ZAP can find and remove messages that are already in a user's mailbox.
The ZAP action is seamless for the user; they aren't notified if a message is detected and moved.
Safe sender lists, mail flow rules (also known as transport rules), Inbox rules, or additional filters take precedence over ZAP. Similar to what happens in mail flow, this means that even if the service determines the delivered message needs ZAP, the message is not acted on because of the the safe senders configuration. This is another reason to be careful about configuring messages to bypass filtering.
Malware ZAP
For read or unread messages that are found to contain malware after delivery, ZAP quarantines the message that contains the malware attachment. Only admins can view and manage malware messages from quarantine.
Malware ZAP is enabled by default in anti-malware policies. For more information, see Configure anti-malware policies in EOP.
Phish ZAP
For read or unread messages that are identified as phishing after delivery, the ZAP outcome depends on the action that's configured for a Phishing email filtering verdict in the applicable anti-spam policy. The available filtering verdict actions for phishing and their possible ZAP outcomes are described in the following list:
Add X-Header, Prepend subject line with text: ZAP takes no action on the message.
Move message to Junk Email: ZAP moves the message to the Junk Email folder, as long as the junk email rule is enabled on the mailbox (it's enabled by default). For more information, see Configure junk email settings on Exchange Online mailboxes in Microsoft 365.
Redirect message to email address, Delete message, Quarantine message: ZAP quarantines the message.
By default, phish ZAP is enabled in anti-spam policies, and the default action for the Phishing email filtering verdict is Quarantine message, which means phish ZAP quarantines the message by default.
For more information about configuring spam filtering verdicts, see Configure anti-spam policies in Microsoft 365.
Spam ZAP
For unread messages that are identified as spam after delivery, the ZAP outcome depends on the action that's configured for the Spam filtering verdict in the applicable anti-spam policy. The available filtering verdict actions for spam and their possible ZAP outcomes are described in the following list:
Add X-Header, Prepend subject line with text: ZAP takes no action on the message.
Move message to Junk Email: ZAP moves the message to the Junk Email folder, as long as the junk email rule is enabled on the mailbox (it's enabled by default). For more information, see Configure junk email settings on Exchange Online mailboxes in Microsoft 365.
Redirect message to email address, Delete message, Quarantine message: ZAP quarantines the message. End-users can view and manage their own spam quarantined messages.
By default, spam ZAP is enabled in anti-spam policies, and the default action for the Spam filtering verdict is Move message to Junk Email folder, which means spam ZAP moves unread messages to the Junk Email folder by default.
For more information about configuring spam filtering verdicts, see Configure anti-spam policies in Microsoft 365. Macos high sierra.
ZAP considerations for Microsoft Defender for Office 365
ZAP will not quarantine any message that's in the process of Dynamic Delivery in Safe Attachments scanning, or where EOP malware filtering has already replaced the attachment with the Malware Alert Text.txt file. If a phishing or spam signal is received for these types of messages, and the filtering verdict in the anti-spam policy is set to take some action on the message (Move to Junk, Redirect, Delete, or Quarantine) then ZAP will default to a 'Move to Junk' action.
How to see if ZAP moved your message
To determine if ZAP moved your message, you can use either the Threat Protection Status report or Threat Explorer (and real-time detections). Note that as a system action, ZAP is not logged in the Exchange mailbox audit logs.

ZAP FAQ
What happens if a legitimate message is moved to the Junk Email folder?
You should follow the normal reporting process for false positives. The only reason the message would be moved from the Inbox to the Junk Email folder would be because the service has determined that the message was spam or malicious.
What if I use the Quarantine folder instead of the Junk Mail folder?

ZAP will take action on a message based on the configuration your anti-spam policies as described earlier in this article.
3at1
What if I'm using safe senders, mail flow rules, or allowed/blocked sender lists?
Safe senders, mail flow rules, or block and allow organizational settings take precedence. These messages are excluded from ZAP since the service is doing what you configured it to do. This is another reason to be careful about configuring messages to bypass filtering.
What if a message is moved to another folder (e.g. Inbox rules)?
ZAP still works as long as the message has not been deleted, or as long as the same, or stronger, action has not already been applied. For example, if the anti-phishing policy is set to quarantine and message is already in the Junk Email, then ZAP will take action to quarantine the message.
How does ZAP affect mailboxes on hold?
ZAP won't quarantine messages from mailboxes on hold. ZAP can move messages to the Junk Email folder based on the action that's configured for a spam or phishing verdict in anti-spam policies.
