Arch Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 The skeptic in me wonders how much the AV companies are paying the hackers to generate the malware... Which of course no one would know, because it never happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I used Sophos AV (for Mac) for about 10 years. Small footprint, auto updating and FREE, perfect for home use https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
