Best antivirus deal for Macs

Why we like it

Norton Antivirus Plus provides all the basics you need from a well-rounded antivirus software package, and it's super affordable at just $19.99 (for your first year, at least). With it, you'll get full malware, ransomware, and hacking protection, 2GB of cloud backup, as well as a password manager. There are other Norton packages that include VPNs, identity theft protection, and more, but this is a great option for Macs, which don't usually require a top-of-the-line security package.
