There are no viruses attacking OS X/macOS, and running any anti-virus tool is both a waste of money, and has been proven in multiple community posts to adversely effect the built-in security facilities within macOS, and the normal behavior of the operating system.

The best antivirus for MacBook Pro is one which is able to detect viruses and malwares in the system and easily.

Currently, Malwarebytes does not remain resident, and continuously check for malware, though it will offer that in a future update.
