Macs need protection, too
Mac OS X is considered one of the most secure operating systems available. But today’s threats aren’t after your computer – they’re after your identity and your money.

New threats target you personally
These days hackers “phish,” “spearphish” and “whale” to target you specifically. Combine these with other threats like router hijacking, and your identity is at great risk of being stolen.

Will it work with my Mac?
If you’re on a Mac running OSX, it will work. You need 128 MB of RAM and 750MB of disk space. Beyond that, you can be running just about any stable version of OSX (even Yosemite), and the app keep you protected.

There’s security in numbers
More people around the world trust Avast for their security than any other company. That means better security for all of us. The reason is simple: "We see and react to more data from more users, so we can make your protection better."
