Easily Uninstall Avast Free Mac Security 2016 (Recommended) Wish to get rid of Avast Mac Security within a few clicks? Among numerous tools that support to uninstall applications on macOS, Osx Uninstaller stands out as a professional, reliable and handy utility. Avast Free Antivirus is an antivirus developed for Windows and Mac OS X platforms that not only detects and destroys a wide variety of known viruses, but can also detect traces of the modifications produced by unknown viruses. I figured it out, but it takes quick reactions. First went to Library/ Launch Agents then removed the file for the VPN next reboot and launch file manager and drag the VPN to the trash real fast before it loads and then remove the trash. Next time, install Avast Mac Security with 1-click. Learn how MacUpdate Desktop can install apps on MacUpdate with the simple click of the icon. Plus, keep all your apps updated.
To first of all to answer the ever re-appearing question 'I have a Mac, do I really need antivirus?': Yes, you do. It does not need to be a virus that affects OS X, you could inadvertendly cause an infection of others by you forwarding or sharing infected files. If you are in business and infect your customers, that is the sure way out of business.
I do not share the experience of any slow-downs by Avast at all. To the contrary, the use of cycles of Avast seems to be much less than other antivirus I have used over the years.
Apart from the ransomware shield and webshield, I particularly appreciate the e-mail shield of Avast, as we have been subject to a barrage of phishing and malware loaded e-mails, which all other antivirus did not detect. While I am certainly capable of identifying problematic e-mails, my associates may not. DIY also consumes precious time.
I don't share the experience of excessive invasiveness by Avast. In fact, I experience no invasiveness at all.
At the time of this writing, based on my experience, Avast antivirus is the best for Mac, in my opinion.

I just did a fresh install of my OS , Installed Avast! and Firefox after they were downloaded, I opened Firefox, and was getting certificate errors, I turned off Avast!'s web shield and the problem went away.
I did some research and it seems that Avast! is replacing SSL certificates with their own.
So, is there a way to recover all my SSL certificates on Firefox to what they are supposed to be? Would re-installing Firefox do the trick or will Avast! just replace them once again?
Can I use the web shield without having Avast! compromise my computer?
