MacBook Pro M1 Antivirus
Aug 26, 2022
I am looking for recommendations for antiviruses on Macbook Pros with M1 processors. I am on Ventura and am looking for a new antivirus and was wondering what people's experiences have been like so far? I know there are other threads but they are usually hijacked by "don't need antivirus" or are outdated now.
I normally get a family plan as have a few Windows and Android devices in the household.
I have tried Norton but it is did drain battery a little bit and kept giving lots of Norton spam. I tried bitdefender which drained my battery with energy impact of over 200. I am currently using MalwareBytes to scan every so often.
Please no comments about "no you don't need an antivirus on your Mac as Macs don't get viruses" I am not here to open that discussion. I want an antivirus on here and don't need that opinion
