Can you suggest any anti-virus software for the Mac?

I'm looking for suggestions for MAC antivirus software. What about Bitdefender?

That product had had reviews in the past and I can confirm the reputation for not slowing down your system. I don't have virus problems but did catch it so a crypto mining site.

I'm a big Eset user. When I first got into IT (many years ago) the company I was at was using Eset and we had an issue where we bought a bunch of USB drives for our employees and as soon as I connected one to my PC, Eset detected a key logger program on the USB drives. We cleaned them all.

Ever since that it's all I've used, on both PC and all my Mac's.

Just my $.02.

I use DRWebb professional version and haven’t had any issues. I was thinking of switching to McAffee after the first of the year.

Any name brand app like AVG, Norton, McAfee will work well. I use DRWebb pro version and it does a very good job. As far as free ones, I have always just bit the bullet and got the paid versions. Seems to be the best way to go.

I have a paid McAfee version but it does not remove malware.

Will Norton be good? I’ve used it before on PCs but not on the MacBook Pro. Wondering if it will slow it down. I’ve got the high end 2017 15”.

I use Norton Premier paid and a little pricey but very good and Malwarebytes a free program and works well .

I'm not a fan of antivirus software but I do recommend Malwarebytes.

I use Norton 360 on my iMac and also use the free version on Malwarebytes...does the trick.
