AVG AntiVirus is a powerful security tool for Mac that helps you find and eradicate viruses and other types of malware from your computer.

This program not only keeps your PC safe from malicious threats but it also prevents it from accidentally infecting other Macs or multimedia devices such as mobile phones.

The application lets you scan for malware threats the entire system, a certain folder or a group of files. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that it doesn't bring a Pause button for the scanning process. Hence, you can only stop the scan completely.

After the scan is complete, the program provides you with a list containing the found threats. You can then decide which to permanently remove from your computer and which to ignore from the cleaning process.

Another good aspect about this app is that it works constantly in the background and makes sure that any file you launch or modify isn't infected.

To summarize, AVG AntiVirus proves to be a reliable solution when it comes to keeping your Mac safe from malicious threats. The program is very simple to handle, automatically scans all files being opened or altered, and comes without a price tag.
