Hi CN, I can't understand why different reviewers choose so many different No 1s? There appears to be no Antivirus that most reviewers choose, which causes so much confusion by anyone looking for the best Antivirus for their needs.(including me). In addition, very few reviewers mention how difficult it can be to remove the Antivirus package if it's not performing as expected. As an 84 year old non-tech man, I would welcome your advise. Many thanks
As a malware analyst at the biggest AV company (by market cap), I would advise against antimalware software and towards training yourself to not get infected in the first place. Learn about phishing and basic security hygene. machine learning models for mac are very weak. Lots of malware is only found by researchers looking for shady websites and downloading everything on them, then reporting it as malware, then AV detects it. Not ideal. Usually it should detect most new malware and just a small amount should slip through. But not the case for mac malware. Might be because there is very little malware for mac compared to windows, the ML has little data to learn from so it produces FPs and misses lots of real threats.
Trend Micro for me, light on resources and gives web cam and mic protection. Easy to install and use with great protection. Used Bitdefender on Mac but it killed the battery in no time when on the move.
@ old IOS on devices no longer compatible to newest IOS: I want to buy an old macbook for simple tasks for which I'd have to go online. With a PC I would never dare to go online with Windows XP. I am just switching to Apple. How is the situation with, say a 2012 macbook with latest "patcheable" IOS? Can additional antivirus and firewalls compensate the deficiencies of the old IOS?
