Anti virus...

[SkyBell]

My mom has this crazy idea that ALL computers get viruses, EVEN MACS!😱 😉 😀

So I promised her I'd get some Anti-Virus software...

...I there any?

ClamXav.

Honestly, AV software for the Mac usually just causes more trouble than it saves. I really wouldn't use it.

Rather, I would set up a non-admin account for normal day-to-day use. Never use the admin account unless you really have to. Never enter the admin password when using the non-admin account unless you know why (installing software, changing settings, etc).

Slap some sense into her. There's no such thing as a crazy idea that can't be slapped out of someone.

Just tell her you've loaded some.
