It doesn't run unless you initiate a scan.Ĭlick to expand.Here are some suggestions for managing privacy and security on your computer: If you want the extra layer of security you can do so but as long as your Mac is updated I don't think you really need it. I do not use any anti-malware software for my Mac and I make sure the firewall is enabled and use best practices as I mentioned and seem pretty safe. What can happen on any platform is Hacking your system and any computer connected to a network is vulnerable no matter the platform. So there are a lot of websites that will download a DMG file and tell you to update-DON'T! If you only update your software from Apple, Apple App Store, or from a vendor you trust then you will never get Malware.

The design of MacOS is very different from Windows and the only way a virus or Malware can get on your Mac if if you install it yourself.
I have used Windows for many years and understand the mentality of always needing anti-malware software. So you aren't going to get a clear answer. That being said a lot of people will say one of two things, you don't need it or you do. There are several threads in this forum on this issue.
