Avast! For Mac 10.7

Active3 years, 3 months ago

I have a laptop with OS X 10.6.8, and it needs anti-virus. I went to the App Store, but everything wants 10.7 and later. I need a software recommendation.

Over here, i have listed down free Mac antivirus software list that provide free antivirus protection on your Mac OSX platform such as ClamXav and PC Tools iAntivirus, Sophos Antivirus for Mac, Comodo antivirus for Mac and Avast free antivirus for Mac. What is the best anti virus for mac. I need to completely erase my mac, and reinstall Yosemite, but I hope to find a program that would get rid of the problems on this machine. Avast 7/10 Kaspersky 6/10 Sophia 4/10 Webfoot 3/10 (google it, can't post direct link) All personal experience is subjective and simply a trust_to_a_brand. Avast for MAC run smoothly on Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard), Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.7.x (Lion). It won’t run properly if you already have an antivirus protection installed in your MAC. Avast Mac Security 2015 provides you with the tools you need to protect your Mac from the growing number of malware threats. Minimalism throughout: Avast Mac Security 2015 pares settings down to a basic interface with only five primary buttons. Complete protection: The Avast program can scan your system for existing problems and can also be configured to protect you from new threats. For some Macs, the 'Best Free Mac Antivirus' according to 'Best Antivirus Software and Apps 2016' would be Avast, not Sophos. Specifically, those running OS X 10.7 and earlier, since August 2016.

For these, you need to pay for the premium version which costs $59.99 per year. /avast-free-for-mac-2017.html. Is it worthy?

I don't think you NEED an antivirus (In 25 years I have never used one and never had a virus). I do have the free ClamXav which I use to scan external disks before mounting on my Mac.
