From there, the process is pretty straight forward.just follow the steps.
However, you likely will not have too many (if any) such computers to deal with.most should be relatively newer models that should boot relatively quick with a USB 2.0 drive.Īs I said, it should just be a matter of attaching the external drive (of large enough size), format for a Mac using Disk Utility, download the latest macOS 10.12 Sierra installer/updater from the App Store and fire it up (I would suggest making a copy to another drive before firing it up.running a macOS updater/installer will cause it to be deleted after it runs, so if you need it again, you will have to download it again.if you do not copy it). Just keep in mind that booting from a USB 2.0 drive with a much older and slower processor can take what seems like forever (my 2006 original MBP was this way). before even the "jellybean" iMacs), then you would need a SCSI drive assuming the Mac has a SCSI us Macs that old likely can boot from a floppy running OS 9 or potentially earlier.of course, at that point, you likely will not find any current anti-virus programs that will work with a computer & OS that old.and current virus/malware likely won't affect a computer that old. And if by some strange reason you are dealing with something even older (EXTREMELY unlikely.i.e. Anything older will require a Firewire drive most likely assuming the Mac is not older enough to not even have a Firewire port. Basically any Intel based Mac should boot from a USB 2.0 drive (this should technically include USB 3.0 drives as they technically should be backward compatible with USB 2.0), although I would tend to recommend Firewire for the earlier Intel Macs.

And then you would need an anti-virus/malware program that can run on that other OS but still read macOS formatted disks and scan for Mac related malware/viruses.again not aware of anything like that (which makes sense.the Mac is a much smaller market with way few known viruses/us you can easily create an external bootable drive yourself with the macOS on it that can run Mac anti-virus/malware programs, which is something much tougher to do on Windows).Įdited by smax013, 30 January 2017 - 01:27 PM. The only way around that is to use another OS on the bootable media (which is likely what your Windows toolset does), but I am not aware of any such options for the Mac (I believe booting a Mac to another OS also requires "adjusting" the firmware/boot process of the Mac, which is what Bootcamp does for booting to Windows on a Mac).
#BOOTABLE MAC USB ANTIVIRUS LICENSE#
You will have a tough time finding something as it would require who ever offers it to also get a license for the macOS from Apple that they can then in effect resell to end users. You might need to create another version or two with older versions of the macOS for older Macs that cannot run Sierra (aka 10.12.x).
#BOOTABLE MAC USB ANTIVIRUS DRIVERS#
The macOS has all the drivers for any supported Mac included, unlike Windows (because there are way to many Windows hardware variations for Microsoft to do that, but a much, much smaller number of actual Apple Mac variations). You can then have whatever anti-virus/malware program(s) on it.
This drive will now be bootable from any Mac that can run Sierra.
#BOOTABLE MAC USB ANTIVIRUS INSTALL#
Then using the latest macOS Sierra installer from the Mac App Store and install macOS Sierra on it. You will need an external drive that is large enough to fit the macOS on it plus whatever program(s) you want to install to use.a USB 2.0 hard drive or flash drive would likely be your best option as it will work with the most Macs.
