SpyHunter for Mac's Vulnerability scan is an advanced technology that helps in the battle against malicious attacks. It is designed to scan the user's computer for software programs that contain reported vulnerabilities. If left unresolved, such vulnerabilities in outdated and unpatched programs may be exploited by hackers and malware authors to take complete control of a user's computer. If a vulnerable application is detected, SpyHunter for Mac allows users to open the website of the software manufacturer, directly from the scan results, in order to download critical patches and fixes that require manual installation.
