    I did a little search for top mac antiviruses. True, that might not be an issue now, but it might become an issue.

    here is a run-down:

    1. Sophos Antivirus for Mac Home Edition     https://www.sophos.com
    PROS: Strong across-the-board protection; free, intuitive and clean interface; scheduled scans

    CONS: Lackluster interface

    VERDICT : Sophos Antivirus for Mac is an easy-to-use and free program whose strong protection and built-in scans make it our top choice
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    2. Avast Free Antivirus for Mac
    PROS: Web Shield feature, strong all-around coverage, free, device hub

    CONS: No scheduled scans

    VERDICT : With excellent malware detection rates, useful extra features, and a free price, Avast Free Antivirus for Mac is our top choice.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    3. ClamXav for Mac
    PROS: Free, open-source

    CONS: Limited features, clunky interface

    VERDICT : ClamXav may be a well-known name in Mac security software, but it just can't compete with other free options.

    Note*** im gonna ignore this. I like AVG
