Why I don’t Use Security Software on Mac:
Based on my own personal experiences, it just gets in the way on a Mac, and it undesirably goes about performing it’s own stuff in the background. Multitasking comes up, and scanning in the background slows the Mac down. When visiting sites, the VPN dos not all me to log in to Apple, and ultimately, you’ll never find a virus on a Mac. Apple is pretty picky about it’s own product’s interactions with a Security Software. Find My does the job.
Malwarebytes for Mac:
Malwarebytes for Mac is created by longtime user of these forums, making it the only trustworthy security software on a Mac. And apps can get installed that will affect your Mac. Malware (Malicious Software) is software that makes your Mac act in a mislead manor, typically behind your back. So, I install it, scan with it, and then uninstall it. It can get on a Mac, unexpectedly.
Ultimately, it all comes down to it making my Mac run slow and disallowing connectivity.
I Use it on a Windows Virtual Machine:
On a Windows Virtual Machine (VM), though, I have Security Software. (Why? Because it’s Windows).
