Does Your Mac Need Antivirus?

Macs & Viruses: Let’s Keep It Real

We’ve all heard the myth: “Macs don’t get viruses.” Yeah, macOS has decent security, but it’s not Fort Knox. Think of it like a good door lock – most folks are kept out, but a pro can still get in. Same goes for your Mac. Sophisticated malware is constantly evolving, and even Macs can be targets.  

Why You Should Care

Sure, Macs get less malware than PCs, but it still happens! And when it does, it’s nasty:  

• Ransomware: Locks your stuff and demands cash. Imagine losing all your photos – yikes!
• Adware: Annoying pop-ups and a slow Mac? Nobody’s got time for that.
• Spyware: Sneaky stuff stealing your passwords and bank details. Identity theft? No thanks.  

So, Do You Need Antivirus?

It depends. Super careful online? You might be fine. But let’s be honest, we all click stuff we shouldn’t. Antivirus is like an alarm system – extra protection for your stuff.
