I purchased yesterday. One of my older MACs has 10.6.8. Product wont install. Says I need to update my OS. I dont want to do that for many reasons. Download the Avast Security for Mac setup file by clicking the button below and save it to a familiar location on your Mac. Download Avast Security for Mac Double-click the downloaded setup file avast_security_online.dmg and select Avast Security. Avast for 10.5.8 social advice Mac users interested in Avast for 10.5.8 generally download. OS C 10.6.8 is the last that can be upgraded on these computer that tht have the intel care duo. SO, is it possible to get an earlier version and if yes, WHERE? July 9, 2015. OS X doesn't really need any antivirus, but you are running a very old version in 10.6. I'd just update to 10.11 'El Capitan' if I could and if not just download Avast for Mac. – RedEagle2000 Feb 2 '16 at 1:25.

So another words, it's not compatible with Snow Leopard? I have an older MAC and Snow Leopard is the last that can be upgraded. Is there AVG protection for AC with Snow leoprd?

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems


If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.


Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.


An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.

See these Apple articles:



If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)


Is there mac support for avast business?. From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

Avast internet security 2018 for mac. For these, you need to pay for the premium version which costs $59.99 per year.


The facts are:


1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.

2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.

3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that

the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering

techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.

4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a

protection against malware.

5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware

from which they purport to protect you.

6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.

7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.

8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something

you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
