So Macs are not completely safe?! Gasp!!!
I’m using antiviruses on my PC for ten years now. Welcome to the real world, Mac users.
Sophos is completely free for macs…I’m personally a little paranoid myself because of school…my university makes us download tons of things for our classes, so just as a safety net since the Mac is becoming so much more popular than it used to be, I installed sophos. I installed for the first time last year though, and after browsing and downloading from all over the internet for a couple years, when I downloaded sophos and ran it for the first time last year, there was no spyware, trojans, viruses…nothing, so I’m confident in my mac without the antivirus, but still paranoid :/
I would recommend Hands Off! over Little Snitch. In my opinion it has better functionality.
