I am a first time Mac buyer. Do I need malware (McAfee/Norton) protection on this new 24” desktop?
iMac 24″, macOS 14.0

No. Mostly they interfere with the Macs own built-in protections. Also, as a new Mac buyer Never install any app that claims to "tune up", "speed up" or "clean up" your Mac.
These apps exist for one reason: to separate the unwary and inexperienced user from their hard-earned money.
At best they do very little, at worst, they can damage your OS installation and cause far more problems than they "solve".
