Which AV do you use?

OS X was launched seventeen years ago and is based on the Unix operating system. There have been and are no viruses for OS X still. Sure some adware and malware and we recommend here running Malwarebytes for Mac, Ghostery and an ad block such as AdBlockPlus. The videos may well be old but nothing has changed. Well one thing hasd changed. AV software companies have started calling these threats 'viruses' to promote their so called protection software to Mac users.

If ever there is an OS X virus the world press will trumpet it as it still gets up the nose of 'experts'.

These videos are 6-7 years old so they prove nothing...

Feel free to post a link to a recognized authority that proves those videos to be wrong.

In the meantime, the same author, Gary Rosenzweig, has both a comprehensive FREE e-book on Macintosh security, and a FREE video tutorial on the subject, both created this year!

Here are examples of sources that I *would not* accept as an authority on Macintosh anti-virus programs and Macintosh malware:

1. Statements from non-Macintosh users.

2. Statements from anyone who doesn't give you a citation(s) for where they got their information, or where there is expert information to back up what they say.

3. Statements from the popular press (that is, newspapers and general new services).

4. Statements from someone trying to sell you anti-virus software
