Clam AV, not used it in years, had it when it first came out but it was back in the G3/4 PowerPC days and about the only one around for a Mac. Search on it I suppose.
I understand that malware threat is increasing. Hence I thought I would try the Norton package from BT as it was included in my package.
I assume you know Apple run a background check, updates often for threats. OS has built in safety. When I dealt with Microsoft files from a PC I would have a paid scanner running. I don't know a lot about this other than it happens.

I just avoid downloading non approved software and dodgy sites (you know, get the full version for free etc.). But I also use a few apps that deal with ad blocking, IP blocking/anti tracking etc. They are not virus/malware oriented. And I am not a security expert. Though there are a few free cut down anti virus versions on the App Store if you want them , I stick to the main ones via industry reviews if I am feeling that way inclined. For me free Bitdefender from the App Store and Malwarebytes from their web site. Use next to nothing resources and quick.
