*avast! Free Antivirus for Mac* is a free version of the popular anti-virus
software that first made its name on Windows. Although virus issues are not
as serious a concern on Macs as they are on Windows, the ease of use and
efficiency of the Windows version bodes well. avast! Free Antivirus for Mac
is very limited compared to the Windows version and many of the features are
blanked out because they are still in development. Of course, it does have
the added bonus that it has a slicker OS X style interface. However, be
warned that as with many virus checkers, it's not very clear how to uninstall
avast! Free Antivirus for Mac, so make sure you have something like AppZapper
to get rid of it if you choose not to keep it. avast! Free Antivirus for Mac
is very easy to use and follow allowing you to scan in real time or scan
drives individually for problems and errors. Scanning is fast and efficient
and you shouldn't experience any hang-ups. If you want to make sure
potentially virus carrying mail attachments are scanned, then you must ensure
this option is checked in system preferences. However, it's only available
for Apple Mail so there's no support for other big mail clients such as
Thunderbird and Entourage. In addition, configuration is messy as it requires
you to disable encrypted POP3/IMAP connections in your email client's
settings so the traffic can be scanned. *There is still some debate whether a
Mac really needs anti-virus software but if you are thinking of using one,
avast! Free Antivirus for Mac at least comes from a reliable
developer.*Download *avast! Free Antivirus for Mac 1.0* in Softonic
