Download Avast! FREE Anti-Virus For Mac OS X – There was once a time when Mac OS X users enjoyed “security by obscurity.” Because of the much smaller number of Mac users in the world, hackers didn’t bother targeting Apple desktops and laptops. However, as Apple products grow in popularity, those days are long gone, they’re increasingly attractive targets to the bad guys. So, it’s advisable to protect your Macs using a reliable security software to ensure that your Mac is as safe as possible from the latest and legacy virus, malware, Trojan horse, spyware and other emerging threats. FREE Anti-Virus 7 For Mac OS X is a nice choice then.
Based on Avast’s flagship security software, avast! Free Antivirus 7 for Mac offers three shields, on-demand scanning, and WebRep clients which are automatically (optionally) installed to Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers. The Web Shield and Mail Shield combine to check the vast majority of incoming data from the Internet, while File Shield scans all programs stored and executed from your hard drive. Everything is packed in a brand new GUI.
