Default Anti adware software for OSX
Does anyone have a recommendation for really good anti adware software for OSX. We keep getting popup windows that are disguised as different warnings, and are really adware.

I have Sophos running on my Mac and I also use ADP (add block plus) add-on in my browser to stop the pop-up windows.

I use uBlock Origin in Chrome, works great. Don't know if it has an OSX version, is this for Chrome or Safari?

I already have antivirus on my mac, but ADBLOCK plus is only for ios, right?
I went to the Adblock plus website, but see nothing for OSX.

Regular uBlock (not uBlock Origin) has Safari/OSX support. Apparently Chrome is a bit of a battery hog on OSX although they have apparently worked recently on fixing that.

I have installed and run Malwarebytes, now installed Ublock. I guess I should be good to go. Thanks, guys.
