Which Security Software to Use on an Apple Device:


A. None. Security Software just gets in the way on the Mac. Install it, and you'll quickly find out why. VPNs can make Macs lag. So, unless required for school or work, then do not use them.


B. Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security:

The free version blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spams numbers and lest you report them on your own. So, consider using it. Malwarebytes Mobile Security is developed by long time users of this forums, making it the only reliable Security Software for ˆ devices.
