GET ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
Antivirus software protects against malware, which can range from the merely annoying (constant pop-up ads) to potentially harmful (viruses that can damage or delete data, or allow others access to it). Protection doesn’t have to be pricey: PCMag’s top picks start at just $20. One common question is whether Apple users need an antivirus program. In short, it’s still a good idea — while Macs are less susceptible than PCs to viruses and other malware, they aren’t bulletproof. At least try a free option.
