Educause Security Discussion mailing list archives By Date By Thread Re: Free AV for Macs recommendation? From: Ric Getter <ric.getter () PCC EDU> Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 09:53:52 -0700 Cathy, Though we have a paid solution here (McAfee), the Mac community in general now sees Malwarebytes as the best free solution for macOS.
