what is the best antivirus for my mac?

not paid at all. I have a job. Fortunatly, it does not have any affiliations with MacKeeper. Keep that in mind so that you don't make the mistake of thinking me up as a worker to MacKeeper. That would be untrue thus making you a liar.

Cheers.

Alicia, I already stated that I don't believe you, how will the foregoing change that?

If you dont believe me, why so. and why argue with someone who supposedly emmits lies? There is no point.

Cheers.

The only point in reading them is your hilarious spelling, and even that wears thin, Goodbye.

Pointing out my flaws, huh? Wonderful observation you made there!

Cheers.

You asked why I read your posts, I am sorry that you don't like the answer.

I believe you have misunderstood. I believe you read my posts but you replied with an unrelated answer. My spelling. This is not a spelling bee. Comprehend it and reply.

If you want to show that you do not work for MacKeeper, then let this thread die. That'll prove it.

Regarding Webroot's scoring on the PC A-V tests, the AVTest.org test which does accurately expose true efficacy is the "Removal of further malicious components and remediation of critical system modifications" test.

This looks at how well you were able to removed additional payloads of an infection and to restore a system to a state before infection.

Webroot scored 85% http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/tests/test-reports/?tx_avtestreports_pi1[repo rt_no]=121434 vs. Symantec's score of 54% http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/tests/test-reports/?tx_avtestreports_pi1[repo rt_no]=121455

While not OSX, Webroot also continues to score very high with PCMag recent review: http://bit.ly/107ifWh

Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013, also an Editors' Choice, works a bit differently. This incredibly tiny program tracks hundreds of behaviors and matches them against malicious behaviors using a totally cloud-based analysis system. It's not fully compatible with traditional testing methods, so it frequently receives poor results, but in PCMag's hands-on testing it rated at or near the top.

Don't download MacKeeper, I hear its bad

anyway does anyone know how to remove the Gen:Heur.PIF.4 Virus??

If someone could answer it I'd greatly appreciate it

I have a Mac by the way

The virus you are mentioning infects Windows based machines. According to my research, it shouldn't be infecting your machine. If you are concerned about a specific file that you have downloaded, I would recommend running a scan. I posted a link above that might be helpful to you (free 14 days, plenty of time to check).

Really? I used the Bitdefender Virus Scanner and it showed the virus I metioned before, It says it can't be quarantine D: I'm a little scared I just got this mac in September of 2012

You have a Windows virus on your Mac so delete it. It can't cause any problems on your Mac.

AV software finds Windows virus because that is all there is for it to find.

IMHO I would uninstall BitDefender. It will most like cause more harm then good.

How do I delete viruses?

Alright I'll delete BitDefender

You guys say not to install a antivirus. Ive always installed Norton onto all my computers and Ive never had a problem? Ive always used it on PC's though, I just ordered my first Mac. Why is it that Macs are less vulnerable to attacks?
