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.
