Is there still something out there that can scan a Mac running 10.9 for malware/viruses? Malwarebites will only install down to 10.10. I see some online scanner, but, obviously, I'm not sure if they're legit.

Thanks.

Other than fake Flash installers, is there anything out there known to be targeting / affecting old OS X versions ?


AFAIK, there are no real viruses.
Just don’t install stuff from dubious sources, and you should be fine.
