What is the best security system for mac
Discussion is locked
Since there are no virus's today (which we would need to have an antivirus) it comes down to not installing malware. The only malware I've encountered was some cracked app.
It's really great to be on the Apple OS X so your choice what to do and be safe.

Intego VirusBarrier is highly acclaimed software, with multiple awards as the best Mac antivirus.

I like Intego because they are the only Mac experts in the security industry focusing solely on protecting Apple products. There are other AV companies but they specialize in protecting Windows computers or some other lower quality device that isn't made by Apple.
Good luck! Hope this helps.
Shhhhhh! You're not supposed to think about that! Just fork over your money like a good little lemming, then when you run out you can hurl yourself off a cliff.
Although I personally have not found a virus on my Mac, my antivirus has blocked a phishing attempt and a Port Scan. I say Mac virus and malware interchangeably, which I've heard is not correct. I'm fairly certain viruses don't exist for Mac OS X. However, Mac malware and Trojan horses do exist and can affect Macs. From my limited knowledge on Mac security, it is my understanding that these types of malicious software are more likely to try and steal your private data or credit card information than cause damage to Macs.
