I don't remember where I read it, but whatever.
I have never gotten a virus on my computer and I have never heard of some Mac user getting one. Plus I don't even think there are anti-virus programs for Mac.

I just don't get why people choose to use PC over Mac. But thats just my opinion.
I don't appreciate you trying to argue with "facts" that you made up.

There are plenty of anti-viruses for mac. A large majority of the common Windows anti-viruses have Mac counterparts.

There are also many reasons to choose PC over Mac. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Lets stop the flame. LukeTheCat is right, you can get a virus on a mac.
yannr00s If you're interested: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/can-macs-get-viruses/ I would suggest getting an antivirus, as it is likely that you're computer is already infected.

Back on topic, I personally use Avast (https://www.avast.com/) And malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.org/) Which are very good free anti malware software, especially when they are used together. I have personally had very bad experiences with AVG free (Lots of clients have come in with infected computers after AVG hasn't protected them from anything.)
However, i have not had a chance to test out the paid version of AVG.
The paid version of Norton seems to be pretty good, although like MoLoToV said, it does have occasional memory leak issues.
Personally, I recommend using malwarebytes and avast together. That's what I put on all of the computers that I work on (Unless people are super attached to a different program) And its also what I use on both my computers at home.
