  • Real-Time Protection

    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.

  • More Security for the Whole Network

    Though Macs are less vulnerable to viruses, they share and collaborate with PCs, mobile devices and other hardware. Empowering each Mac with Avira’s antivirus expertise optimizes the overall security of any network.

  • Three Ways to Scan

    The full system scan performs a thorough check of the entire system without disrupting your normal activities. The quick scan checks typical malware hideouts in order to deliver a quick bill of health. Finally, the custom scan allows the user to check individual files and folders manually.

  • It’s All About Convenience

    Taking a page from the playbook of Apple, the technical sophistication of Avira Free Mac Security is disguised by its simplicity. Users are treated to an incredibly clean interface that delivers award-winning security in a matter of clicks.

  • Centrally manage the security of all Macs, PCs and servers on your network

    The Avira Management Console (AMC) allows you to install, manage, monitor, configure and update all machines’ security from a single Windows server or PC. The AMC is much more than a time saver: it’s peace of mind. Extensive reporting and alert functions enable you to respond in a timely, effective manner to any security issues that may arise.

    Any combination of Macs, PCs, Windows servers, Unix servers and Unix workstations can be managed through the AMC. To get started, simply contact us for your license key.

 
  • Know the security of your Mac at a glance. If you’ve gone too long without a scan, need an update or have a suspicious file in quarantine, one click takes care restores your computer’s security.
  • You won’t come here much. This is where you can decide how often your automatic scans and updates take place. But it’s mainly for customization—the default settings provide plenty of security!
  • Choose the quick scan to check for malware in their usual hiding places. As its name implies, the full system scan checks everywhere but won’t slow down your machine. Downloaded a file you’re not so sure about? The custom scan will put your mind at ease.
