To the contrary, the use of cycles of Avast seems to be much less than other antivirus I have used over the years.Īpart 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. I do not share the experience of any slow-downs by Avast at all. If you are in business and infect your customers, that is the sure way out of business.
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. To first of all to answer the ever re-appearing question 'I have a Mac, do I really need antivirus?': Yes, you do.
I came from Intego, Kaspersky, Norton, SOPHOS Pro and changed to Avast, because of its superior detection of virii.
