I have been using Apple computers for the last 10 years and have been extremely satisfied with them (this question does not relate to Mac computers). Because of this I have not had to worry much about VirusWare. However, I refuse to partition and put parallels on it, so last year I had to purchase a Windows machine, windows 10 I believe. My virus protection is about to expire and of course McAfee has been hounding me to renew for some time now.
Can some of you recommend a Virus Protection Software that you use instead?
I don’t use virus protection, I have a different strategy for handling that problem with my Windows machines as I really don’t like the reduction in performance that virus software imposes.
The process is backup related. If I have a machine that goes bad I can restore it in about 10 minutes.
Your Mac has probably spoiled you. As with anything there is good and bad anti-virus. First off, get rid of McAfree, it’s almost a virus in its own right. Same with Windows defender and Norton. Stay away from anything free (unless it’s an emergency). Anti-virus has to run in the background. You’ll want to use a program that uses the least amount of processor resources. The best one on the market is Eset. It has won many awards and offers the best features year after year.
