bigjohn Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 G'day. I'm not a Mac user, but my grand daughter bought a new Mac Book, and has asked if I could find a good antivirus for the machine. Can anyone help me with some ideas? I read about free Avast, AVG and others, but I'm not too keen on those. Thanks for any help John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylemessiah Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Free Avast, if you wasnt to pay youre paying just to feel better or for the sake of it these days, because the only difference between the paid and free is that the paid has "premium" features like identity protection...which most people think works automatically...but it doesnt and requires you to set up/train, and most people who pay for these "premium" features never read the fricking manual and never use it properly, and therefore theyre not using any of the premium features theyve paid for Waste of money Ive worked in IT for 30+ years, its been at least 1 deacde and a half since i quit paying for "premium" AV, because the featured i used to pay for are now common in free AV Have i had a virus/trojan etc in 15 years...no Used Avast Free all that time...

bigjohn Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks guys. Would anyone know if there is a Mac version of Eset. I have used Eset / Nod 32 for about 20 years on my PCs. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
