Antivirus protectionĪvast Free Mac Security keeps Macs free of malware using traditional signature-based detection by unpacking Mac-specific file formats and scanning them for malicious content.
It supports Macs running any version of macOS, as long as they have 128MB of RAM and 750MB of available disk space. Avast Free Mac Security costs and what's coveredĪvast Free Mac Security is free. At the end of the day, though, Avast's Mac malware protection rate isn't quite as good as its competitors', which is the most important part of antivirus software. The one major perk of Avast Free Mac Security is that it can identify attacks in your email inbox, a feature that we'd like to see in all Mac antivirus services. As is the case with most free software, it does an OK job and - like popular free-to-play games - aims to pull money from your pockets after it's installed.
Avast Free Mac Security doesn't break a lot of new ground.
