Real-Time Protection Against Malware

Malware can cause significant damage by stealing personal information or damaging files on a computer system. With Avast Free Security for Mac's real-time protection capabilities, users can rest assured knowing their systems are protected 24/7 from all types of malware attacks such as viruses, spyware Trojans among others.

Protection Against Unsafe Websites

Unsafe websites pose a significant threat because they may contain malicious code designed explicitly with the intent of infecting computers with viruses or other forms of malware once visited by unsuspecting users who may not know how dangerous these sites could be without proper warning signs like those provided by Avasts' browser add-on which alerts them before visiting such sites thus keeping them safe while browsing online without fear!

Advanced Scanning Technology

Avasts' advanced scanning technology enables it detects even complex forms of malware hidden deep within files on user's computers; this means no matter how well-hidden these malicious codes might seem at first glance - there will always be something left behind after running an extensive scan through every corner possible within one's device storage space!

Exposes Weaknesses In Routers And Connected Devices

With hackers becoming more sophisticated every day in their attempts at gaining unauthorized access into people’s networks through various means including exploiting vulnerabilities found within routers themselves - having an extra layer protecting one’s network becomes crucial! That’s where Avasts’ router vulnerability scanner comes into play; it identifies potential weak spots within one’s network infrastructure allowing users take necessary steps towards securing their networks better than ever before!

Scheduled Scans

Users don't have time always available during working hours or leisure time but still want maximum security coverage possible without interruptions? No problem! With scheduled scans option available via avasts’ settings menu - users can set up automatic scans during periods when they're away from their computers ensuring complete peace-of-mind knowing everything remains protected even if left unattended!

Automatic Updates

Keeping up-to-date with latest security patches released by developers could prove challenging sometimes especially if done manually but thanks again here too avasts’ automatic update feature which ensures all necessary updates get installed seamlessly without requiring any input whatsoever making sure everyone stays safe no matter what happens next!

Review

Avast Free Antivirus for Mac is Avast's answer to concerns about how to browse safely. The application is packaged with a brand-new, easy-to-understand graphical user interface, with access to all features available at single click.

The application's onscreen tools are well-organized, and its live graphics enhance the feeling of safety -- you can see that the antivirus software doesn't sleep and is always working to protect you from any viruses circulating on the Web. Avast's free software provides three shields to protect your computer: a file system shield, an e-mail shield, and a Web shield. With all three representing a door to your computer, Avast does a great job of watching these entrances.

However, this comes at a cost, and we don't mean money: as soon as you launch the app, you'll notice a slight drop in your computer's performance, which is due to Avast being at work scanning your entire computer for infected files. Secondly, it affects your browser's performance, as it also scans the pages you attempt to navigate to for viruses through the extensions it installs in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome browsers. We did find its notification feature handy, as it informs the user about its actions, so you'll always know what the software is up to.

Overall, Avast Antivirus for Mac is a nice addition to your Mac toolbox. It's free and very easy to use.
