Its an on demand scanner that won't take resources unless your scanning and its free.

Answer 4

you need virus protection to make sure don't get a virus, the reason macs don't usually get virus's is that the majority of people use pc's instead of mac's so virus makers make virus's to target a wider audience so there are more viruses made for pc but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get virus protection. AVG is a good free virus protection programme

Answer 5

All operating systems are open to virus attack.  The idea that a MAC "cant" get a virus is an old wives tale.  They have always been vulnerable.  You need both anti virus and anti spyware software.
