How do I turn on the antivirus on Macbook Pro 2012?

Hello James,

Just to be clear, do you mean that you want to turn on an antivirus that you have installed on a Windows system that is installed on your MacBook Pro?

In the event that you are using Mac OS on your computer, then there is no anti-virus application unless you purchased one then installed it on your computer yourself. The same applies for Windows anti-virus. In the event that you purchased an anti-virus application, then you will need to have a look at the ReadMe file for it which will have a sure guide to help you enable the antivirus application you have installed on your computer..

The problem you are getting could also be linked to the system requirements of your computer. You will need to check the minimum requirements and make sure that the antivirus can work well with them.

Regards,

Carl
