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) .

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.

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.
