    Is my Mac safe or not? If you’re like most people, that’s all you really want to know. If a virus has been detected, or your security configuration could use improvement, one click restores optimum protection.

  • There’s security in every byte

    Avira Free Mac Security is constantly on guard for viruses and other threats. Every file accessed by the user and the system is silently inspected so that no infected file sneaks in between system scans.

  • Ongoing protection that runs like clockwork

    The scheduler keeps your Mac scanned regularly, while automatic updates ensure continuous protection from new and changing threats.

  • You won’t come here much. The Scheduler feature in our free Mac antivirus helps you decide how often your automatic scans and updates take place. But it’s mainly for customization—the default settings provide plenty of security!
