Would real time scanner be harmful for Mac? Do I need one?

[Dogmangon]

I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as manual scanner, but can't make up my mind if I need real-time scanner for my Mac. Opinions diverge, some saying it does more harm than good.

Although OS X virus are very rare they do exist. Having real-time protection is never a bad thing regardless of OS you are running.
