  • Do Macs Have Built-in Antivirus?

    From David Brooks@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 18 10:21:56 2022
    The start of the article ....

    "For many years, most Mac users assumed that their computers were safe
    from the viruses that attacked PCs. For a while, that was true. But
    these days, bad actors are creating malware that targets Macs and can
    take over your computer and steal your personal financial information.
    So do you need antivirus software on your Mac, or does the computer have built-in antivirus protection? The answer is more complicated than you
    might think."

    Anyone in the UK using BT as their ISP may now install Norton device
    security free of charge.

    My brother was sent as he's on BT and only uses an iPad.
    I just said ignore it.
    Lots of things are given away free at the start but you end up paying in various ways in the long term.
    Drug dealers do it, sex via marraige and then for the next X years you keep geting nagged to pick yuor clothes off of the floor,
    stop making a mess, do the garden, fix the car....
