Your Mac is not immune to threats —
but our free Mac antivirus protects you on 3 fronts
Malware isn’t the only threat to your Mac. Malicious websites and vulnerable Wi-Fi networks can also jeopardize your safety and privacy. Avast Security for Mac provides more protection against all 3 threats, and our premium version also helps expose Wi-Fi intruders and helps stop ransomware.
