Avast Free Antivirus is free antivirus software developed by the Czech company Avast Software, which, although it has been offering a comprehensive security service for Windows since the early nineties, was not released on Mac until 2007. Over 400 million users endorse its reliability, as they trust this technology to protect their computers against any threats. The app is also available for iOS devices, like iPhones and iPads.

Quick installation process

Installing Avast Free Antivirus is very simple. The app will be installed on your Mac in under two minutes. From that moment on, the antivirus will always be operating in the background, guaranteeing your security in real time. One of the first things the software will do is analyze your Mac in search of security and performance issues, providing quick solutions to any problems. It also offers another type of real-time protection, instantly scanning all unknown files before they can harm your computer.

Multiple layers of security

As mentioned above, Avast Free Antivirus is constantly working in the background, carrying out smart scans and always on the lookout for any vulnerabilities. But it does much more than this. Avast Free Antivirus also includes the powerful File Shield and Behavior Shield, which scans all downloaded files before you can run them, to verify that there is nothing irregular about them. Thanks to the help of these shields, if any of your apps are malfunctioning, you will know instantly. The Cybercapture system, on the other hand, automatically sends any suspicious files to be analyzed in the cloud.

Improve the performance of your Mac

Another of Avast Free Antivirus's interesting features is its tool for improving the performance of your Mac. You can access this feature from the column on the left by clicking on the corresponding icon. As with the rest of the app's features, using it is as simple as clicking the green button and waiting a few seconds. When you start this process, the app will detect and remove other background processes that are consuming more memory than they should, and it will also detect junk files on your hard disk. It can even detect if you have an outdated piece of hardware and search for the corresponding driver.

A complete security ecosystem

When using Avast Free Antivirus it is important to be aware of the adjacent software on offer. You can conveniently integrate many other Avast Software branded apps within your Mac's ecosystem, such as the Avast browser, its VPN or its AntiTrack tool. All these apps complement each other, making each software's features more useful. For example, with the VPN tool you can surf anonymously and securely, accessing any web page, without worrying about what you might find there.

An antivirus for everyone

Download Avast Free Antivirus if you are looking for a versatile, powerful and reliable antivirus solution. Once you have installed the app on your Mac, you might even forget that it is running in the background. The app will deal with any threats intelligently and effectively, so that you can concentrate on what really matters to you.
