Their support team was useless as well and their forums were plagued with the same problems we had. So we looked around for a different free AV. Avast is free, though unlike the Windows version, you don't have to register/subscribe to keep it free. It seems light on resources and I haven't had any complaints about it. No conflicts with AT and no issues with it working consistently. The UI is easy to use and it detected infections that Sophos didn't.

No conflicts with AT and no issues with it working consistently. The UI is easy to use and it detected infections that Sophos didn't. So yeah to be honest, if you're looking to have an AV on Mac, from my experience I'd probably suggest Avast - possibly in tandem with MalwareBytes for Mac, though at the moment I can't personally attest how good or reliable MWB is. I am downloading it right now to check it. If it's like adwaremedic it doesn't slow down anything, on demand, and to me it's worth it. I started having pop up ads and ran adware medic, it hit on a safari extension I had and when I removed it the ads stopped. Endnotes in pages mac. So while I don't think it's worthwhile to run something constantly on demand like adwaremedic is good.
