As the title says. Mac users are you using any anti-virus and if so which one? I am considering Trend. Any opinions or experience with Trend or any other? Thanks in advance for any input.

Sophos although I have never needed it. | |||

Don't use it. If one day my needs change I will use one but haven't needed it in about the 10 years I've been using a Mac. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Mac user since 2003. Installed SOPHOS for a few years, but never found any virus. Deleted it. Installed free Malwarebytes for Mac on my Apple 11" AIR last year which did find some crap. I do a sweep twice a year. I also run Ghostery on Firefox which finds and deletes "trackers". ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Mackeeper, Apple always say bad things about them. That tells me that it's features are better than apple's. Had it on multiple MacBook pros for the past 5 years... _________________________ | |||

Bitdefender Virus Scanner here. I use the manual (free) version so it only runs when I chose to make it do so. Oddly enough, a few weeks ago it found two bitcoin trojans on my Mac and eliminated them. It's the first time since I switched to Macs in 2012 that I've ever found anything. No idea how they got there. Glad the free stuff worked! | |||

No. Not sure if I can say never, but at least not for years. Apple puts out system updates very rapidly. BTW: MacKeeper is, as far as I can tell, Malware and a scam. Big mistake to ignore warnings against it!! What respectable company would “market” its product by inserting malware in your browser that claims you have a virus so you will buy their product?? _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

None. Just regular security updates via Apple. An acquaintance recently RESPONDED to a phishing email, called the linked number, got scared out of her panties, and purchased lifetime Sophos for $645. When I found out, plus seeing what Sophos charges, I got most of it reversed. This was after hammering the point, "Never download and install ANY extra software" ... This lady gave up her bank acct / routing numbers ... | |||

Avast. It's caught several malicious sites trying to install spyware into my browser. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||
