Have one but never needed it so far - or it didn't catch the virii ;) I use bitdefender at least it's quite unobtrusive on mac (sick of the windows version!).

Sophos is free and afaik not too bad if you need one: https://home.sophos.com/free-mac-antivirus https://home.sophos.com/free-mac-antivirus
Further I use:
- https://objective-see.com/products/knockknock.html https://objective-see.com/products/knockknock.html
- https://objective-see.com/products/oversight.html https://objective-see.com/products/oversight.html
- https://objective-see.com/products/blockblock.html https://objective-see.com/products/blockblock.html
and Little Snitch
- https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html
and Firefox with
- https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix
- https://github.com/gorhill/ublock https://github.com/gorhill/ublock
Hope that keeps the pest away ;)
- blowski 8y agoOT, but your pluralisation of virus made me stumble upon the following article: http://www.ofb.net/~jlm/virus.html http://www.ofb.net/~jlm/virus.html
- binaryanomaly 8y agoSeems you're right. I didn't pay a lot of attention to it tbh ;)
- submeta 8y agoI use bitdefender as well, but lately I started deactivating "autopilot" (auto scanning folders in the background) because it pushes my cpu usage to > 100% regularly while I am using my Mac.
- binaryanomaly 8y agoI fortunately do not have that problem, yet. But the autopilot stuff and other weird stuff bitdefender is doing autonomously is exactly why i may ditch it soon. Will probably switch to sophos once it happens.
