Awarded by independent experts
Your Mac is not immune to threats — yet.
Our free Mac antivirus protects on 3 fronts.
Malware isn’t the only threat to your Mac. Malicious websites and vulnerable Wi-Fi networks can also jeopardize your safety. Avast Security provides essential free protection against all 3 threats, and our new Premium version goes the extra mile to expose Wi-Fi intruders and stop ransomware.
