I decided to use Bitdefender a few months ago becouse i suspected my Mac had malware. I was right, there was a adware in the firefox files so it did it’s job.

But, my experience with the antivirus was horrible. When i first opened the app there were popus everywhere advertising for their other products, and the overall ui didn’t look trustworthy.

I am no security expert, so I’m asking: is this the best way to deal with malware?

Not get it in the first place.

Not an expert myself, but I think cleaning up and reinstalling your whole OS once in a while probably deals with malware.
