Hi, We’ve just stopped supporting an on site AV tool for work and have started recommending people get the free online version of Sophos from the Sophos website.
They have both windows and mac versions and it’s pretty good for an av tool. On a mac I’m less likely to install one but I do recommend people stay safe and use it if they have it. I’d recommend Sophos over all others after I’ve been using it for 8 years.

I have been a mac user since 2011 and have been using a well known anti-virus with no problems . In October I updated to El Capitan and my hardrive failed . After hours on the phone and repeated trips to the Apple store they were able to get me running again by removing the anti-virus program . I am a little hesitant about putting the same program back into my mac. I was wondering if anyone on the list has any anti-virus suggestions and do I really need one ? Thanks in advance ,,Ben C -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
