SecureMac Releases MacScan 3.2 Anti-Malware Security & Privacy Suite for MacOS

SecureMac has announced the latest version of their flagship macOS security app: MacScan 3.2. Company officials say that this release will deliver an important privacy improvement for the Safari browser, as well as providing users with some significant UI/UX enhancements.

The most notable change in MacScan 3.2 is that it now supports Full Disk Access in macOS 10.14 (Mojave), allowing users to clean Safari items using the app's Internet Clutter Cleanup functionality. This should come as welcome news to the many Mojave users concerned about privacy issues caused by tracking cookies in Safari.

As SecureMac CEO Nicholas Raba remarked, "As the majority of Mac users are using Safari as their primary browser, MacScan 3.2 will fill a significant gap in their ability to protect themselves from unwanted tracking. By providing a fast and easy way to scan for privacy threats in Safari, MacScan will allow users to protect their privacy or even blacklist certain tracking cookies if they choose."

The update comes as Apple itself is moving to take action on privacy issues in Safari. A new privacy standard for the browser, called "Privacy Preserving Ad Click Attribution", was announced several weeks ago on the WebKit blog. Though still in beta, the end goal of PPACA is to prevent advertisers from tracking and collecting excessive data on users who click on online ads. However, the proposed standard is not expected to go live until the end of 2019. In the meantime, Safari users will likely continue to rely on apps like MacScan to protect their privacy.

In addition to addressing privacy issues in Safari, MacScan 3.2 also brings some UI/UX improvements, as well as a minor bug fix that will ensure scan logs display properly in all versions of macOS.

Lead Developer Nicholas Ptacek summed up the development process underlying the changes this way: "Computer security has traditionally been viewed as something complicated and scary, so one of our goals with MacScan 3 has been to make the process of securing your Mac as easy as possible for computer users of any skill level. To that end, we've worked hard to provide an intuitive user interface so that our customers can spend less time worrying about security and more time getting things done on their Macs."

Because MacScan automatically checks for updates, licensed users of MacScan 3.1 will see the version 3.2 update when they launch the program. In addition, a DMG download of the latest version of the app will be made available on the SecureMac website.

As for the road ahead, SecureMac says they plan to continue working on updates and support for MacScan to make sure it's ready for the Fall 2019 release of macOS 10.15 (Catalina), announced by Apple at last week's Worldwide Developers Conference

Metrostudy Releases Q1 2019 New Pool Index (NPI) Findings

Metrostudy, a Hanley Wood company, announced today the release of its first quarter 2019 New Pool Index (NPI), detailing activity in the new in-ground pool installation industry. Read this here.

In the first quarter of 2019 the New Pool Index increased to a reading of 51.4, up 7.5 percent from one year earlier and up 1.5 percent from the previous quarter. The index has seen thirty-five consecutive quarters of year-over-year gains since activity hit a bottom in 2009. The NPI is forecast to continue increasing over the next few years, but growth rates will begin cooling in 2019. For 2019, Metrostudy expects the NPI to average year-over-year gains of 5.2 percent, before averaging softer gains of 0.6 percent in 2020.

"Pool builders remain busy on the strength of the economy and the ability of homeowners to leverage record levels of home equity. Equity-rich coastal markets continue to be hotspots for activity," said Mark Boud, Chief Economist at Metrostudy. "We forecast continued growth in new pool construction over the next few years; however, growth rates are expected to moderate, a trend that is in line with the late-innings of the housing cycle," says Boud.

Metrostudy produces the NPI to provide the industry visibility into local market pool activity, forecasted future activity, and potential demand. According to the company's first quarter report, 286 Metropolitan Statistical Areas are expected to see year-over-year growth in new pool projects in 2019, with these markets averaging 5.1 percent growth.

For more information on accessing the full quarterly report, please email Robb Coltrin at rcoltrin@metrostudy.com.

About the New Pool Index
The NPI is a quarterly measure of the level of pool installation activity in 381 metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) in the U.S., with the national composite reflecting the national level of activity. On the national level, a number above 100 indicates a level of pool activity higher than the level of activity in 2005, which was the peak of pool installs in the prior decade. Each MSA's activity index is computed independently based on that market's pool related data and shows the current level of activity in the specific MSA relative to the MSA's own history and relative to year 2005. Read related news now.

The index is produced through a statistical model that leverages detailed data on pool installation activity, including household level pool permits, existing pool locations, and survey of planned pool purchases. Quarterly historical results for the national composite and for each of the 381 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S. are available back to 2004. In addition, Metrostudy also produces annual estimates of pool project counts as well as forecasts of the quarterly index and annual project counts.
