Can anyone recommend a decent free antivirus for Mac OSX Catalina? Asking for my wife who has a mac mini she uses only for photoshop stuff, nothing mission critical, doesnt use the machine for anything financial etc, but rather be safe than sorry on the network especially since Catalina is no longer supported for security updatse. thanks!

(yes she will be installing a linux distro on it eventually).

best thing she can do, imho, is installing linux. great os for a great hardware.

I'd grab any USB stick and boot Linux from there...or if you'd like to try out a bunch from a single USB try Ventoy

And of course there's Tails if you'd like to use a USB as your main OS:

No need (really) to install Linux native, but if you find a distro you like, then installing that makes sense. But for now, I'd just have her boot directly from a USB...

Looks like TrendMicro’s Antivirus One is compatible.
