If you mainly download apps and software from, e.g., App Store (Macbook / iOS) and from Microsoft Store, you don’t necessarily need any antivirus. There are two things you should be aware of:
- Always update your operating system once a new update has been released by Apple, Microsoft, or Google (Android).
- Keep track of all the applications you have installed on your own devices, and remove unfamiliar or rarely used apps.
If you are actively following the two pieces of advice above, you should be more worried about theft of your physical devices than ransomware, viruses, and malware.
However, if you are a person that mistakenly clicks on fake links from spam email or download apps and software from little-known entities, then you should definitely install antiviruses on your devices. We have partnered up with Bitdefender, which is our preferred antivirus software.
