I see I see, thanks for the informations !

I'm using Mbp 2013 for like 3/4 years, and a sudden thought wondering I really need an anti virus or not. I'm quite new in MacBook also.

You dont need any anti virus for mac, as it will slow down your computer much more. Mac only infected by some adsware. Which is come from an online website(usually movie website) .

I think there's no need. Unless someone experienced it personally=)

yes, you r right.
once infected, you still need a antivirus to protect and prevent it for Mac

Been using Mac since 2009 and no anti virus installed since the beginning.

means u r not to exploring detail enuf via your browsers

Define detail.

antivirus for mac ?

what is this, a joke ?

ehhh, antivirus for mac os??? Guess its not need...

anyway to prevent malware such as adware?

for me i have used normal AV so far ok if compare initial was a lot of adware.
anyway, try to use trusted website lo

as long as you dont use your mac to surf porn sites and torrents it should be safe

So far so good for both on my MacBook.

LOL!!! i tot MAC is known to no need use anti virus?

Now Technology changed, software malware also change

but I believe MAC also will change to better rite to prevent it rite?

hmm.. hope so

My macbook, sometimes, out of sudden my safari will pop up ads website such mackeeper etc2
Not sure is it what u meant by adsware
I think i got it after browsing some free online movie streaming website
Any idea how to clean it?

Try to remove unwanted extensions in your safari preferences settings.

i ve installed eset antiviurs (that is my company), able to clean up some and protected
Now working fine. no more adware

thanks for your suggestions.
done both suggestions, cleared my browsers and
i installed malwarebytes (as it comes with free premium) and it quarantined few files
so far being using my mac for few hours and the pop-up havent happen yet (hopefully the problem resolve, touchwood)

however, i gatal tangan went and delete unused apps and now become another problem
everytime i boot in my macbook, it will pop-up "uninstaller quit unexpectedly
i opened a thread in helpdesk section, if any of you can come out with solution please help me there
thank you so much

Bro, download this anti malware app from https://malwarebytes.com/mac

Been using this app since 2014 on my rmbp and so far I'm confident in surfing all those 'you know what' sites without much issues. Once in a while scan the hardisk to remove all those unwanted parasites.

If we can pool buy 10 people it will cost each rm60 instead of rm180

thanks bro,
yeah installted it trial 30 days premium
but the license rm180 per year though

anyhow with regards to my problem, it is gone after updated to high sierra
but my macbook become lag pula

Guys, I am using version 1.2.6 and in 2014 it was free to use. They came out with the version 2.0 and most current now is 3.0 which no longer free. Only difference between 1.2.6 and 3.0 is the upgraded interface (the free version is simpler) but both scan with the same database.
