    I think, based on how many times you have asked about anti-viruses on
    the newsgroup, you may have missed this sentence in his presentation:

    Rather than asking which non-Apple "anti-virus" or "Internet security"
    product is best, a much better question is "how should I protect my
    Mac". Maybe you should also dwell on his three bullet points just prior
    to that statement.

    I have always tried to follow common sense since I started using
    computers in 1983 and on the internet since 1995. I have fixed many compromised computers for clients during that time, but never had an
    issue with my own devices, outside of hardware issues.

    With your considerable experience and knowledge, can you advise on WHY

    I wonder if anyone reading these newsgroups DOES ignore John's advice

    If there is, WHICH product have they chosen?

    Yes, but it is now a real curse. You install it, run it, and then have
    to peel each finger off your system with de-installation. It's truly a nuisance.

    As I am not the developer and I have never used it, I can't answer that question. I know it was included with some of the early macOSX server versions. But, I never used used it, although some folks in a other
