Ask HN: Best anti-virus for Mac?

Sophos Endpoint Security is the "best" I've seen. It seems to have negligible performance hits. Please don't take this as a glowing endorsement.

Everything else seems to be complete garbage, especially the respective products from McAfee and Symantec. ClamX is clunky and not very functional.


If you are protecting Windows users then mcafee and clamavx seem to be recommended but panda, Sophos and kasperky exist.

If you are protecting yourself uninstall your weaknesses, Microsoft office, java and flash.


Ubuntu
