So there are a lot of websites that will download a DMG file and tell you to update-DON'T! If you only update your software from Apple, Apple App Store, or from a vendor you trust then you will never get Malware. The design of MacOS is very different from Windows and the only way a virus or Malware can get on your Mac if if you install it yourself. I have used Windows for many years and understand the mentality of always needing anti-malware software. So you aren't going to get a clear answer.


That being said a lot of people will say one of two things, you don't need it or you do. There are several threads in this forum on this issue.
