Save your money.

Third party AntiVirus is not recommended— it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS and competes directly with Apple’s own built in security:

macOS antivirus - Protecting against malware in macOS - Apple Support

Security and your Apple Account Security and your Apple Account - Apple Support

Apple Platform Security - Apple M5 2026 Apple Platform Security - Apple Support

MacOS is the most secure operating system on the market. Privacy is at the very core of all Apple products and services.

Nothing can self-install, self-duplicate or self-sabotage your system.

I would advise against installing anything that interferes with that.

Save your money and your time.

When I switched over 19 years ago, I too believed the marketing gimmick.

Don’t be fooled by clever marketing advertisement tactics that rely on fear to sell you a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

All the best! 👋🏼😉

Even if Norton was free.....it would not be worth the money.
