AVG vs Avast: Go! Discussion in 'macOS Sierra (10.12)' started by CavemanMike, Jul 1, 2017. Is Avast better than AVG presently? Thanks, Mike. Than run a mac virus thing on my system that annoys the crap out of me. Little snitch is running. And i just dont click on any link in front of me. Both McAfee and Avast got the top honor, which is the “ADVANCED +” award, but McAfee’s impact score (the lower the better) was 7.3, which is considerably better than Avast’s 8.9. So, it’s clear from the independent tests that McAfee is slightly lighter on system resources than Avast, but the latter is not far behind in this race. Avast Security Pro (for Mac) adds ransomware protection and Wi-Fi intruder detection to the features found in Avast's free antivirus, but these additions don't merit its high price. The myth that Macs can't suffer viruses, Trojans, or other types of malware attack is busted. Avast for the Mac was created specifically for the Mac and not something ported over from Windows. It has three separate shields; one for mail, web and file system. You can also scan your system or a part of it at anytime.

Avast Free Mac Security was tested by AV-TEST that indicated that the application stopped 99.17% of Mac OS X malware, which is better than most of the other applications in the market. Additional Features.
Hey Guys,
Avast For Mac Free Download
Well I finally have switched my life completly over to Apple. This past year I have gotten an iPhone 4s, iPad (3rd gen), and I just purchased last week the new 2012 MacBook Pro.
My question is this... I know that there are less security threats on the Mac vs. PC. However, I still want to protect myself and not have to worry about anything. Can someone help me out and let me know what the best antivirus / internet security program for the Mac is?
I appreciate any and all answers
