Avira Antivirus Pro For Mac

Avira Antivirus Pro brings to the table real-time file scanning and robust detection algorithms in an attempt to keep you safe from adware, spyware, phishing attempts, backdoors, unwanted apps, and so on.

To help you get started, Avira Antivirus Pro comes with an installer package that automatically deploys all dependencies. The real-time scanner comes enabled by default, and the scheduler makes sure to scan your computer at least once a week.

When you move the app to the trash, Avira Antivirus Pro launches the uninstaller application which means that you can make sure all the components are removed correctly.

Avira Antivirus Pro relies, among other things, on virus definitions and incorporates an update mechanism that you get to use to download and install the latest databases. It does not seem like Avira Antivirus Pro will deal with the procedure in the background, so make sure to check for updates on your own daily.

Like many other antivirus solutions out there, Avira Antivirus Pro can run quick scans, which means that only essential folders are analyzed, yet can also fully assess your entire drive. Thanks to the built-in scheduler, you get to plan these scans for when you are not actively using your Mac.

Note that via the Avira Antivirus Pro Preferences you can tweak the basic settings, the heuristic detection level, and the threat categories both for the threat and real-time scans.

The threat files can be moved to the quarantine folder or deleted completely, and you can choose the types of dangerous or unwanted apps that Avira Antivirus Pro gets to protect you against.

Avira Antivirus Pro can deal with adware, spyware, backdoors, double extension files, phishing, security privacy risks, unusual runtime packers, dialers, jokes, games, or other dubious utilities.

To sum up, Avira Antivirus Pro brings to the table elementary antivirus capabilities when it comes to scanning, real-time protection, or threat management.

At the same time, the utility brings to the Mac the extensive Avira virus database together with the heuristic detection function. As a result, the antivirus gets to identify various types of threats and block or quarantine suspicious activities or files before its too late.
