And its not listed on AV-Test website. AV-Test is an independent organization based in Germany, which regularly tests and posts reviews of Antivirus software products for home and business.

The following link is their page for Mac AV products for home use. I'm a dual boot Ubuntu/Win10 user, so can't speak to Macs with knowledge. From my own reviews of these companies, AVG and Avast are owned by the same company out of the Czech Republic. I'd recommend staying away from Kaspersky and Bitdefender as they are based out of Russia and Romania, respectively.
