Topic: Best Antivirus Protection/Scanner for Mac? (Read 609 times)
Dont use products of ESET their owner has ties on certain groups of people that want to gain control over fucking world. Seriously, not joking.
Since more and more people use a Mac computer, it's becoming more popular to hack a Mac
I use Bitdefender antivirus for my Mac. This is one of the best antivirus at the moment.
You can download a 30 day trial here http://[Suspicious link removed]/1yvOy3K
How about Mac Keeper?
I didn't know that MAc also has virus ? Back to the question, I highly recommend Little Snitch for all Mac users. This is a program that helps identify and block specific programs from transferring data between you and them (you do it manually). Pretty much a network monitor. This program goes well along with any antivirus, but I'd say Sophos Antivirus for Mac is one of the best. Avast is also good, but not as good as Sophos in my opinion.

Good day, MrGreenHat,
To be honest. OS X is rather sandboxed system, which as a rule doesn't require additional protection if is being used properly. Modern antiviruses has two scan modes, generally: heuristic and signature database. The last is based upon the own antivirus database. The first one may be not so efficient, to be short, if someone tries to do his best in exploiting your PC he has potentially high chances irrespective of if you use any additional protection or not. We would advice only to not rely solely on antivirus. In majority of cases any protection would be odd if you make everything with particular caution.

For Mac, Clamxav is a good choice .. 
Free edition anti virus mostly can be download anywhere but provide a lower protection.
You can try to buy Kaspersky, The most advance AntiVirus I've ever met. So many feature that choose from advance virus scanning until parental guide ( preventing your child to open prohibited site )

TBH I don't really use any sort of antivirus software on my Mac, it's absolutely unnecessary. Though AVG did provide some utility tools which were for cleaner, and removing duplicate items. The best advices I would give you, would be to turn your firewall on, set the appropriate settings, and login password for your mac
I apologize if I am creating this topic in the incorrect forum, but I didn't know where else to ask this question. I figured bitcointalk.org would be the best place to ask this question, since most of you seem to value the security of your information. What is, in your opinion, the best Antivirus Protection or Antivirus Software for a Mac? Preferably for a reasonable price, free would be even better.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.
I'd think probably recommend ClamXav too - it is free.
It probably isn't needed, but if you are worried, it will do a good scan.
LittleSnitch is a good tool too.
(And I think this is the wrong forum). ;-)

If you don't have money then go for avast! Antivirus It is free and it is quite usable.Thank you in advance.
But if you want to invest then go for eset security but it isn't so cheap.
