Hi there: My wife has lately been getting spam emails, allegedly from her 
email provider, which include links to click to resolve "problems"--you 
know the drill. She has not taken the bait, but when I contacted the 
provider on her behalf to triple-check that her account is still in the 
clear, I got quite a lengthy sales pitch for all sorts of Mac-related 
anti-virus and security stuff that they want us to buy. I have never really 
worried about that sort of thing in the past, but times do change and I 
thought I would see what the received wisdom is nowadays about the need for 
such programs...and if there *is *a need, what to install. She's on 10.10.5 
and I'm on 10.11.something. 

(FYI, she does not want to switch email providers, even to save the $100 or 
so a year, because of the understandable headache of notifying everyone, 
changing her business cards, her website, etc., and needing/wanting to keep 
her old messages in one place.)

As always, my thanks in advance!
