Keep Anti-Virus Software Off of your Apple Devices:

AV software just hets in the way on an Appel device, and you'd be Surprised as to how an why. What to use...


Scan your Mac for Malware: 

Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware along with ransomware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes Uninstaller

I honestly do not know but if you are asking which one is the best for you to use, the answer is none. They are completely unnecessary for all Macs and will definitely slow down your computer. Also, they can cause other operational problems. Never install one on any Mac.
