No laughing.
No, no anti-virus needed.
ClamVax is free and does not break things, if you feel you must.
Common sense prevails ... do not import/download suspicious things.
Avoid MacKeeper and MacDefender because they break thigs an are difficult to remove.
Thanks, That's what I thought but with all my recent problems with my PC (which drove me to buy a Mac in the first place), I just wanted to check. Good riddance of McAfee...I don't think it ever really worked that well anyway!
Glad to help.
A warm welcome to the forums & Macdom! 🙂
