Antivirus 10.8 Mac And 2011

Unobtrusive - on 2009-vintage iMac and 2011-vintage MacBook Pros.

Through its intuitive interface, this app lets you manage your security settings and run scans at any time to ensure complete protection.

Pros Scanning options: With AVG AntiVirus for Mac, you can either complete a full scan of your computer, or you can select a file or files to scan independently.

This saves you time and lets you avoid repeating scans of the same items over and over again.

There are also several options on the Preferences page that allow you to customize your scanning further, including the option to scan for Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) that you may have unintentionally downloaded.

Real-time Protection: Real-time Protection detects and eliminates new threats in real time, so once youve cleaned off your machine, you wont have to worry about new infections taking hold.

Cons Slow scans: In testing, a full scan of our Macbook Air took over an hour and returned a result of no threats detected.

But once youve completed a full scan once, you wont need to repeat it often.

Bottom Line AVG AntiVirus is a good free tool for protecting your computer from a wide range of external threats.

The file scan option lets you choose exactly what you want to scan, and Real-time Protection safeguards against new threats.

Our award-winning detection technology scans for Mac, PC, and Android-specific threats.

Every file you open, copy, or save is automatically scanned so quickly, youll never know were there.

Automatic Updates.

From system slow downs to outright kernel panics AVG is a train wreck that does nothing more than destabilize your Mac.
