I have been using Kaspersky but this doesn't work in Mojave because of a key 32bit module. Does anyone know of a fully 64bit antivirus app which would work?
Got a tip for us?

Sophos home is 64bit, that might work! I've not tried it on Mojave but it's all 64bit.
Not needed on Mac. Knowing how2computer makes the human the best A/V. Otherwise you really only need to run BitDefender once in a while or MalwareBytes for general web surfing since the 12 year olds in IRAN are smarter than most of our adult developers and write new code everyday. Just to check.
Otherwise your'e just wasting resources. know what to click and what not to click and you're safe.
Antivirus makes money because of fear. They sell a problem that you can control for free.

While it might be true in a way, in my case, my employer uses big-IP Edge client VPN software, and it does require an antivirus present to connect. I use Avira, and wonder if it works in Mojave.
So, how do you protect against an exploit taking advantage of a cve on your browser? Can you manually analyze network packets, memory and other IOCs to detect payloads sent over a vulnerability? Could you protect yourself if a trusted website is compromised and creates a hook between your computer and the c&c?
The human is the weakest link on security. Most security breaches are caused by human factor.
watch what you download. Make sure you keep up to date with software updates and security patches Then you can't go wrong. Mac OS is unix based and everything is sandboxed so why would you?
