I've been using Clam AV for several years although to tell the truth I only run it maybe once a year when I think about it. I never seem to get any viruses or bots or whatever there is now.

I see they are now calling it ClamXAV. Guess I need to update.

I'm a fan of Bitdefender. Get a family pack and put it on your phone/s as well

I swear by Malwarebytes as the best overall, for both Macs and PC's

I currently use Malwarebytes as well. I'm annoyed that they won't provide upgrades for older versions of OS X, but you can't have everything and my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10 was getting long in the tooth. I recently bought a MacBook Air with MacOS 11.5 and Malwarebytes works fine on it.

I had an issues a few years back and the Apple helpdesk recommended Malwarebytes. I haven't had a problem since. It's free.
