[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1782290, member: 131855"] If you have a quick look at the security area of these forums I think you will find most of our members avoid such software. The following seems to be true of AV software on the Mac: 1. The viruses being blocked / identified are based on Windows viruses. These viruses do not execute on the Mac unless they are run under BootCamp. 2. There are no Mac viruses "in the wild" AFAIK. 3. There is malware out for the Mac. Many of our members use [URL="https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/"]MalwareBytes for Mac[/URL] to combat this. [/QUOTE]
