Just to add >>


There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX  Foundation and Permission Limitation. 


The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that cannot be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications like Check Point as mentioned by fellow contributor @Kurt Lang 👍


The Only thing this Antivirus Software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.


AntiVirus Developers purposefully Market their product to create a “ Fear Factor “. In so doing, creating a False Need for their Product.


Security. Built right in


Mac app security enhancements


 The Built in Security  is all that is required to protect the computer.
