When you think about apps that make you hop out of your chair in excitement, security apps are probably at the bottom of the list of what comes to mind. They're necessary, but not exactly fun.

The apps available in the massive Ultimate Mac Cyber Security Bundle shake this notion to its core, as quite a few of the apps in it are a little outside the box. There are apps for VPNs, keyloggers, video surveillance, and more.

And best of all, it's on sale for $49.99. Each of the apps on their own would add up to $247.92, so getting them for this price is a pretty sweet deal.

The Apps

VPN Land: 1-Yr Subscription

If there's one thing we love, it's a good VPN. This particular one features access to over 400 servers, so you'll be able to connect all around the world at high speeds. Shove geo-restrictions aside and watch what you want to watch, when you want to watch it.

Of course, there's more to the VPN than getting around geo-restrictions, and since it's included as part of a security bundle, you can probably guess what else it's used for. Yeah, I'm talking about keeping yourself safe online. You can prevent identity theft and other types of malicious attacks. Oh you want another reason to use this VPN? Here's the logging policy:

We do not spy on our users and we don’t monitor their Internet usage.

Periscope Pro 3 Video Surveillance for Mac

Here's the first of the outside the box security apps in this bundle. Periscope Pro 3 lets you record from your Mac's webcam or from a connected camera to keep track of who is using your computer.

You get a range of options for working with your camera. You can set it to start recording when there's sound or motion, so when you get back to your computer, you'll only see footage that's actually useful and relevant. And don't worry, you can adjust the sensitivity, so you don't end up recording every little movement that happens.

What's more, the person using your Mac won't know the recording software is running, as the app will hide. If you live in a household with other people (maybe you have a sketchy roommate who brings weirdos around all the time), this is a perfect app to have installed.

Koofr 100GB Plan: 1-Yr Subscription

This service is all about letting you connect all of your Cloud storage platforms in one place. Between Dropbox, Google Drive, and all the others out there, it can be hard to keep track of what files are stored where. This leads to wasted time, as you're forced to look for the files you want. If you had Koofr, that wouldn't be a problem for you ever again.

Mac App Blocker

This is another app meant for people who have others who use their computer (either with or without permission). It lets you block access to certain apps with a password. So if someone sits down at your computer and tries to get into an app that you'd rather them not have access to, they won't be able to use it.

And let's say you have a particularly persistent user -- Mac App Blocker records all the failed attempts so you'll know when it's happening. It'll even hide its own icon and use fake error messages, so the user will have no idea what's happening.

Mac Internet Security X9: 1-Yr Subscription

No matter what the Internet seems to think, Macs do need an antivirus! This one combines VirusBarrier and NetBarrier to protect you against all kinds of viruses and malware that could infect your system and cause tons of problems. Is it the most fun and exciting piece of software? Nope, but it's incredibly important and necessary if you want to keep your Mac running properly.

Sticky Password Premium: 1-Yr Subscription

A password manager is an amazing thing to have for two reasons: first, it's convenient to have all your passwords stored in one place, and second, because it's much safer. You only need to remember one password (the one for the manager), and it'll handle the rest. That means you can create more secure passwords for your accounts and not have to worry about remember complicated strings of numbers, letters, and symbols for every site and service you use.

With Sticky Password Premium, you can automatically generate secure passwords anytime you need to. You can also use it to store credit card information securely with military grade encryption. And of course, it'll be backed up to the cloud, so you can get access to your passwords anywhere you go.

Elite Keylogger Pro

The last app is one of the cooler ones, as it logs the keystrokes on your Mac. With this, you'll be able to see exactly what anyone else using your computer is doing. Caught a virus and want to know how it ended up there? This will tell you what your friends or family did to it.

You'll get daily email reports of all the activity on your Mac, so you can closely monitor everything that happens.

You can even keep track online browsing, which can be used to help guard against predators, hackers, and other malicious individuals. This is especially useful if you have children in the household and you want to make sure they're being safe online.

Can you FEEL the Security?

Your Mac cost a lot of money. Do you really want to take the risk of ruining it because you didn't feel like installing some security software on it? For $50, you can't beat this massive bundle.
