Still have not decided on antivirus software--Bitdefender is highly rated...

I've been perusing many anti-virus rating sites and I'm still somewhat confused. I don't really use VPN, I don't need parental controls, and I want something easy to understand. Most of the websites give Bitdefender a top rating, followed by Norton. I once had a bad experience with Norton, so I still have that bad taste in my mouth. And now, a friend is asking me what anti-virus software HE should use, since his is expiring soon.

Can we please review what would make a good antivirus for my Apple iMac?

I’ve been using BitDefender AV on my Mac for maybe five years and have been happy with it.

I also use “CleanMyMac” from MacPaw to do a whole bunch of utility cleanup and junk removal tasks. “CleanMyMac” also has malware monitoring and scanning.

Both have been rock solid and very worthwhile.
