Viruses in some SDR software?
Looks like I got cubic sdr executable cubicsdr_v0_2_6a_win64 from https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/releases/tag/0.2.4.

Looking for a good AM/FM Radio sollution
There is loads of software that will work such as SDR++, GQRX, CubicSDR, and SDRangel just to name a few. For HD radio reception, there is nrsc5. Nrsc5 only works with an rtl-sdr, so you will need one if you want to receive HD radio.

SDR clients compatible with m1 macs?
CubicSDR and GQRX both work on my M1 Mac. I installed GQRX using homebrew, CubicSDR was downloaded from Github (https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/releases/tag/0.2.5). Both are the x86_64 versions and run under the emulation layer provided by Mac OS.

What OS has the best software for RTL-SDR? I currently use gqrx but feel its limited.

Wxwidgets 3.1.5 Released
Be aware that 3.1.5 enables EGL by default and, if your application uses GLX, you're going to have problems: https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/issues/886

Using SDR to make .CSV files for Wireless Workbench
https://github.com/AD-Vega/rtl-power-fftw can help. This can be easily piped for various outputs and works with GNUPlot off the bat. Use this on an Android based SDR for foxhunting and Signal seeking.

how can I find other signals to listen to?
I like to use rrl_power_fftw

Frequency hopping driveway sensor?
You could use rtl_power_fftw to better record the wider band over a time period. This is similar to rtl_power from librtlsdr, but is more efficient and can dwell for as little as 100ms on any 2.4MHz window (24MHz done in 1 second, f.e.). You can then plot this data through GNUPlot to get visual representations.
- Any fun ideas for introducing SDR to my 81 year old dad?

Comparing receive capabilities of antenna
These are made using rtl-power-fftw and GNUPlot

Laptops with lowest RFI?
I have a rooted Android with an RTL-SDR attached, which I'd take with me if buying a new laptop. I'd sit near the laptop's on display with a stubby duck in the SDR and use rtl-power-fftw to rapid scan 27-1724MHz (fastest is 100ms dwell at 2.4MSps). Takes a minute or two and can be fed into GNUPlot to give you a pretty graph of signals seen. Do it at a low gain and any spikes you see are likely from those sources.

Passive signal collection?
Look into rtl_power_fftw. It can be run for hours on any host (including a Raspberry Pi) and the spectrum results examined later.

Rtl_power scanner logic
rtl_power_fftw is likely more well suited. It's multithreaded, so can sample IQ and process the data as it samples. It's also faster and uses libfftw for processing (faster and more accurate). Outputs more friendly, too. I use this in part with a signal heatmap project; https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/ifer8j/progress_on_the_android_sdr_linuxdeploy_rtl_power/
