Best Answer: I, personally, use Avast Anti-Virus and I love it. It has never let me down and has always done great.

I also have it installed on my Windows PC and it is great on there too. The virus's I've had on Windows, it removed them instantly. I've never had any virus's on Mac so can't give my perspective on the virus removal on Mac. It never slows down either computer. If you want a great anti-virus I recommend Avast Anti-Virus. • Answered by Preston H from Turbotville • Jan 31, 2015 •.

This is a tricky question. How are you define what is the 'best' is?:) For some people 'best' means 'quick', for some 'not hungry for resources', for the others 'look good – feel safe'. The only adequate answer will be a competition. Here is what i found: According the Tom's guide best overall antivirus is Avira, it is free and scored 9/10 BitDefender 7/10 (best paid antivirus) Avast 7/10 Kaspersky 6/10 Sophia 4/10 Webfoot 3/10 (google it, can't post direct link) All personal experience is subjective and simply a trust_to_a_brand preferences. Hope this helps. • Answered by Andrej O • Nov 20, 2015 •. What is best is relative.

That depends on you. Do you want to pay for the solution or not? Sophos (free) has worked well for me but so has Kaspersky. Skype for business mac desktop sharing.

I have never had an actual virus on my Macbook Pro however, I have had to eliminate malware. Malwarebytes has done the job for me and it was free. Remember if you don't have the correct virus definitions in your antivirus program you won't eliminate the virus.

It isn't just the antivirus program that does the job, it depends on whether the program has the right tools for the job. • Answered by Dean M from Falmouth • Oct 29, 2015 •. The 'best' is relative to what situation you place yourself and your Mac in. Point being you must protect yourself and use your head by not downloading Adware, Malware etc. Think abut what you're doing prior to doing it.

Now, with that being said there are two world renowned, well respected sites which you can find answers to your many Anti-Virus, Adware, Anti-Malware questions. These are AV-Test.Org as well as AV-Comparatives.Org.
