Internet Security Software

Was told that my security software is not compatible with MAC ios. I have almost a year left on the subscription. Is there a list of "approved" internet security solutions?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

No Anti-Virus software or so-called “cleaning” apps are needed or recommended for Mac OS. They can conflict with Mac's own built-in security. At best they will slow your Mac by using unnecessary resources and at worst will bork your entire system. Your Mac has all the built-in protection you need.
