You can turn off the Real-time Protection system, but don’t! USB protection, meaning automatic scanning of any mounted USB drive, is unavailable unless you upgrade to the feature-complete cross-platform Avira Prime suite.
Avira mac reviews for mac#
ClamXAV for Mac support goes back to Yosemite (10.10), Intego works back to Mavericks (10.9), and ProtectWorks can function on Mountain Lion (10.8).Ĭlicking Protection Options in the left-rail menu brings up a very simple page with two options: Real-time Protection and USB Protection. If you’re stuck using an old operating system for some reason, you may need to consider a different Mac antivirus.
Norton 360 Deluxe for Mac does require the current macOS version or the two previous, which at present means it implicitly requires Catalina. Even so, Avira is the first I’ve encountered that explicitly requests macOS 10.15 (Catalina). It only makes sense, given that Apple keeps adding security enhancements. Most Mac antivirus products need to run on recent versions of macOS. Just as in the Windows edition, the rest of the window features oversized icons representing Security, Privacy, and Performance, with a button to run what Avira calls a Smart scan. But where the Windows product just has Status, Security, Privacy, and Performance down the left side, the macOS edition adds two or three submenu items below each. The main window features a simple menu down the left, like Avira Free Security. Since my last review, the macOS product has undergone a redesign that makes it look a lot more like the Windows version.
