Antivirus

"Antivirus : Does my MacBook need antivirus ? Or does it come with its own ?"

"No" to both.

What is Needed:

Use Malwarebytes for Mac. The free version blocks popups. On an iPhone, the paid version blocks out known spam numbers. So, consider using it. It is made by long time users of these forums, making it the only reliable security software for a Mac. Read the following post to see how to use this software: Blocked numbers - Apple Community

Downloads:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
2. Malwarebytes Uninstaller

I've never used any 3rd party antivirus apps. Also see: macOS - Security - Apple

1. Not outside of the built-in defenses, and not downloading software from sources other than the Mac App Store and the developer websites.

2. Yes.
