University is Forcing Anti-Virus: Which one is lesser of the poisons?
So the university is forcing an an anti-virus installation if we want to establish a connection to their wifi. I'm a longtime mac user and think that anti-virus softwares do nothing but take up resources and steal data. But I have to choose one from the list below. SentinelOne seems to be their main choice and then Sophos. I've tried Sophos before but find it way too resource demanding as it's constantly updating its malware database.
Ultimately, does anybody know which one uses the least computer resources?
