[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1622207, member: 40791"] you don't need any AV if yo plan on using Safari as your browser, goto safari on the menu bar, safari extensions, download and instal adblock plus and ghostery. I'm not sure if similar software exists for Chrome - perhaps someone else can help here. then go to the safe mac and download and run this: [URL='https://www.malwarebytes.com/']malwarebytes[/URL] But finally, and most importantly just be careful on line. don't blindly follow links in websites, emails, etc or enter your admin password to install anything unless you're absolutely sure it's legitimate.
