anti virus

Some years ago, due a security concern at the time, I installed the paid version of Malwarebytes (MB) and have kept it up each year. I'm trying to decide on renewal. My older laptop is starting to show some reduced battery performance, although it's still rated as "normal," and I may have...

Does macOS Big Sur require additional Anti Virus protection? I used Sophos Home addition on Catalina but would prefer not to use if not required. Your advice would be appreciated.

I've recently had to reinstall macOS and I haven't yet installed any antivirus; for the past few years I've been using the free version of Avast!, which has been fine, but I've never been completely comfortable with the invasive way that it operates (requiring root permission to inject itself...

Hiya folks. Long-time Mac user here, with a dumb question... bear with me... What's the best antivirus software that I should purchase for my Mac? As I said, I am a long-time user, but in all my years I've never once installed antivirus software. Never wanted to, never needed to, never...

Hello, beginner here, please be kind. :) I keep hearing that Mac is safe and has no need for real-time scanner, but also that it is needed, but apps for that are... bad. I heard Norton is very bad? Are Avira, Avast, AVG or Sophos bad for Mac health? Among free apps I keep seeing only...
