Easy answer: None


No antivirus is needed and will only give you problems. Save yourself the trouble, use Apple's built-in protection only and use safe browsing practices such as:

  • Don't click Mail links that require personal information.
  • Don't allow Notifications in Safari.
  • Don't install Extensions in Safari.
  • Don't allow Popups in Safari.


In addition, don't use any Cleaner apps or use anything that claims to speed up your Mac.
