F-Secure Antivirus renewal
Hi all
I have for quite a few years has F-Secure on my MacBook Air. It's up for renewal but I'm wondering if I really need it? I keep my OS up to date. If I do need to add something, recommendations appreciated.

I've never in all the years I've used Macs felt any need to run antivirus software. In my experience it tends to cause more problems then it can prevent. As long as you follow common-sense "safe computing" procedures, there's probably no need for a third-party antivirus package on your Mac.

I agree with varjak paw. I learned my lesson when an iteration of Norton AV rendered my Mac practically useless for the better part of a day back around the turn of the century. Once I exterminated it Norton, I never used any other anti-virus and have had no issues.
