I had in the corner, an offer of MacKeeper scan.

I started scanning, it found serious problems, close to 800 files, but then I quit. Not sure whether it is legit.

With all the meltdown and the other problems, I probably should have an anti virus except that, as recently as two months ago, the Apple people said we don't need one..

What do people here use?
