Any current recommendations for antivirus/malware program for MacBook Pro

None. Norton, Avast, MacKeeper (horrible product!), etc. ... at best they slow you down, at worst they destroy critical system components.

You have a "Firewall" which does know how to properly interact with macOS and that is enough.

Should also have mentioned ... do NOT use and self-proclaimed "cleaners" (like CleanMyMac). They can be as destructive and the antivirus products.

If you have any concerns about invalid files or attachments that may have wormed their way in, please check here before taking other actions. The combined experience here has seen most of the scams and invasive code to be found in MacWorld.

”I just got a MacBook Pro. I am new to Macs. What antivirus/malware software would you recommend?”

———-

I recommend MalwareBytes for Mac:

This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found from the quarantine.

Why it is Trustworthy:

It is created by longtime users of these forums. So, that is why it is the only way to go about securing your Mac, when it comes through use of software.

No need to install any third party application. MacOS is sufficient enough to protect you.
