Hello .
I got new m1 mini mac 2020 another weeks ago , I had malwarebytes on it. Also I was reading online and some people talk about m1 mac mini don't need anitvirus. I am not sure what are some people saying about nitvirus don't need or yes ( another different kind of anitvirus dont need for that. ) so I have my malwarebytes on my new m1 mac mini 2020.
Mac mini, macOS 11.4
Hello, zer1057.
I agree with @FoxFifth; your Mac Mini doesn't need an anti-virus app. If you keep your macOS software updated and practice good computer hygiene you should not need any add-on software for that. From this user's perspective they are more likely to cause problems than to solve or prevent them.
If you ever suspect a malware problem, you've already discovered Malwarebytes. That's a great tool to use against adware, and other malware you may accidentally install.

No need for antivirus, add-on for mac mini. Alright. I would look for more information for my m1 mac mini for accessories thing what it or I need cause I have some information on OWC web. Is it a good website for what m1 mac mini 2020 needs to recommend?
Yes, OWC - macsales.com is a very good resource for Mac stuff. Highly recommended here. 👍🏽
I have never used a 3rd party antivirus on any Mac and I wouldn't use one on an M1 Mac if I had one. See: macOS - Security - Apple
