"Just bought a new MacBook Air to add to my ipadpro and iphone 14 Pro Max trying to pick a good security suite: just bought a new 14 ProMax, iPad Pro and Mac Air. I had to replace everything. What’s the best security suite out there for me. I’ve used McAffee and Norton on PC and droids in the past. Suggestions?"

Using a Mac Securely:

A. Keep Security Software Off of Macs:

Security Software just gets in the way on a Mac. Ans you see this a lot when it comes to firewall settings. It is unneeded on a Mac.

B. What to Use:

Malwarebytes Usage:

Malwarebytes searches for malware (short for (malicious software) and spyware. It is created by longtime users of these forums making it the only reliable Security Software for a Mac.

Downloads:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
2. Malwarebytes Uninstaller

C. Mozilla Firefox Usage:

As an alternative to Safari, Mozilla Firefox is a Web browser to use, and has recently added security of its own, looking for Phishing Scam Sites. So, if not using apple.com, then consider using Mozilla Firefox.  Learn More Here: How does Built-in Phishing and Malware Protection Work? - Mozilla Support

"Apple support said the same. I was surprised because some of my worst experiences repairing computers in the early 2000s were caused by people having installed Malwarebytes. I have some research to do I think."
