Problem solved.
[Sigh] I knew in a thread about anti-virus, someone would eventually say this. I actually think Macs are fine, but that kind of attitude is tiresome. On tech blogs, there's also always one person who recommends Linux. (By the way, I used Ubuntu for a couple years.)
Getting back to the matter at hand, there was a good discussion on Reddit:
What would you say is "must get" software?
Lots of tech-savvy guys on that website, giving a broad range of software recommendations, including anti-virus.
