antivirus

Hello @AlL, I suffer elaborate Attacks on my Computers/Smartphones for years. I am not an IT professional and I have Norton, Bitdefender and Malwarebytes run on my Computers (also Kapsersky Live CD) to check for Malware. I never received any Warning that Malware/Virus was detected. Yesterday...

I have Parallels Desktop 18.3.3 for Mac, and a Windows 11 virtual machine that has Parallels Tools installed. A "Deep System Scan" using Bitdefender Virus Scanner version 3.17 reports the that file '/Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-win.tar.gz' contains two...

I recently installed Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security in my Widows 11 VM. Does anyone know how to run a scan?

I currently use McAfee Total Protection as my antivirus app, but I've grown tired of the pop-up messages I get from them for upgrades that I have no interest in. I understand from what I've read that Microsoft has a good antivirus app but I don't know how to iget and nstall it. Can someone tell...

I've heard the recent version of Parellels supports more Windows software when running on M1 macs? Anyone know if more antivirus packages are available? Really looking to use things like Avast and Malware Bytes. Thanks.

I am running Parallels 17 and W11 on a Mac with the new M1 chip. I've discovered that McAfee will not install in the W11 vm and I am looking for a replacement. Is anyone using Norton with the M1 chip in the W11 vm? I know that it will run on the Mac side but need to know if it will run in the...

I have a brand new Macbook Pro with an M1 Pro chip. I've successfully installed Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview. I can't seem to find a single antivirus program that I can install in my Win11 environment. I had Norton spend an hour on my computer trying to get Norton to work, but they had no...

Is there an antivirus solution for Mac that will cover the Windows VM as well?

This may be too daunting of a task, but many other Antivirus programs offer these tools in an all-in-one package, would be nice to see if parallels added their own antivirus to the tool box, or even an add on that we could purchase.
