what the best internet security M1

What is the best / recommended Internet Security to use on a Mac Studio M1 Max Chip ?

I have been apple based on and off for the last 4 years moving from PC only based for 15yrs where it is a must to install internet security (Firewall and Antivirus).

I also use Parallels to run a Windows 11 based VM for Sage Accounts (which has its problems) !

I have used Mcafee for over 15yrs on both PC and Mac (Intel Based), but now finding when I install on my recently purchased Mac Studio (M1 Max) it seems to not run as smoothly and noticing compatibility issues mainly with the firewall / thunderbolt etc.....

What is the best internet security setup to use with the latest M1 ?

Is anyone else experiencing compatibility issues with Mcafee Firewall and also Parallels compatibility with Mcafee ?

Mac Studio (2022)

In all honesty, none. The Mac is perfectly capable of securing itself on its own. It does not need a y 3rd party apps. Most of those security and AntiVirus apps on Mac just cause issues and performance degradation.
