Review of Avast Free Mac Security

Avast Mac Security (formerly Avast Free Antivirus for Mac) offers three shields, on-demand scanning and WebRep clients which are automatically (optionally) installed to Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers. Our Web Shield and Mail Shield combine to check the vast majority of incoming data from the Internet, while File Shield scans all programs stored and executed from your hard drive. Everything is packed in a brand new GUI.
What's new in this version:
- WebShield + MailShield: Enhanced compatibility with various mail/web server configurations
- 30-day Security report
- Many fixes and minor improvements

This Mac antivirus has a bad reputation for having many false positives and has been a constant source of problems whenever it was installed on my Mac.

Finally got rid of avast!
