Antivirus on a M1 Mac - Is Norton Antivirus any good?

One thing that might help, don't go anywhere you might get malware, kind of like that talk your parents either give or gave you when you started going out..

I just bought BitDefender Total Protection for a year. Here in my country. The official distributor sell it for about 13usd . For that price I got a year with 5 devices active at the same time. I used it for my Mac , windows, and android . 2 more for my family

On avtest website the review is quite good and well it's a no brainer for the price. Yeah, Mac has its built in Anti Malware etc but having redundancy is nice and knowing that if it's already in the BitDefender database before Apple's I can be sure that it Will catch it.

The last thing I like with having a third party av is that it detects windows viruses too. So if I plug in my family's USB, and it contains windows viruses it can clean it so that when they use it on their other computers. It won't be affected.

How do you like Bitdefener Total Protection? Did you have to give it permissions to access the Mac's drive?

So far it seems good. And yeah i do have to give permission to the drive . Makes sense for an antivirus program though.
