Things to consider…

>>> How many licenses?

If you have more than one Mac in your household, most AV software offers multi–device licenses at a heavy discount.

>>> Renewal costs

The vast majority of antivirus tools offer a discounted price for your first year’s protection. Just be prepared for the hike in premiums for subsequent years.

>>> Add a firewall

Your Mac’s built–in firewall only blocks threats that originate on the internet — but third–party firewalls can work in both direction, blocking malware from “dialing home” to do more damage to your Mac.

>>> More comprehensive protection

Many security products also offer security suites covering all aspects of your Mac’s privacy and security, along with extras like system optimization.
