    Lightbulb What is the best antivirus for the new M1 macbooks?

    I have a couple of apps like discord and they are not optimized for the new M1 chips and hence cause extra battery and ram...


    soo, what is the most optimized antivirus for the new macs??

    I would GOOGLE the question and read reviews from experts that have experience with Macs.

    ikr!
    here's the google search with the query:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=best+antivirus+for+macbook+m1&oq=best+antivirus+for+macbook+m1&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l4j69i60l2j69i61.22984j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    where there are a tonne of ads, and no actual experiences.

    I want some actual user of a m1 MacBook having an antivirus installed and that would be really helpful in letting me decide it

    You'd probably have better luck finding other "m1 MacBook" users in Apple Support Communities: https://discussions.apple.com/welcome
