[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1745037"] The absolute best all time Mac antivirus is "None." There are no viruses for Macs in the wild, so none of the Antivirus suites do anything. They do scan for Windows viruses that cannot run on Macs, which slows down the Mac and accomplishes nothing. Malwarebytes is all you need to remove the crapware that comes from browsing or file downloading at untrustworthy sites. Ghostery (ghostery.com) will block just about everything. The only other suite that you might look at is Onyx ([url]www.titanium.free.fr[/url]) for the occasional maintenance cleaning. Don't need much else. The beauty of Mac is that you get to USE the machine instead of CARING FOR it. EDIT: And for downloads, avoid SOFTONIC, Downloads.com, CNET or Macupdate.com. All of them "Bundle" other things that you don't want with what you do. Try to stick to the Apple app store, or the developer website like Titanium and Ghostery. [/QUOTE]
