Avira Security For Mac

Avira Security is a free macOS utility created to help you get rid of any privacy and malware concerns with the help of automatic download scanning, on-demand malware detection, as well as built-in Internet connection encryption and IP address hiding capabilities.

Right after starting up on your Mac, the Avira Security app starts scanning your Mac to find your current IP address and the amount of extra disk space it can help you free up.

It can do that via its built-in storage optimization feature designed to clear out unnecessary files from your Mac's hard drive. To be more exact, it digs up and helps you delete unused and old cache files your apps have created since their installation with a simple mouse click on the Start button.

Avira Security will also help you hide your real IP address while browsing the web and encrypt your connection making it a lot harder for anyone to steal or sniff out information from your web traffic.

The Avira Security utility is also designed to keep a close eye on all the files you download on your Mac's hard drive and will display an alert each time it detects any potential malware. It also gives you the choices to either close the notification or to directly trash the file to prevent any possible future infection.

As far as we've been able to tell, Avira Security will not scan your downloads for Windows malware so make sure that you either use a separate anti-malware to avoid sharing malicious files with friends and colleagues using Windows or ask them to scan anything you send them preemptively.

Also, Avira Security comes with on-demand scanning abilities, and it helps you scan anything from locally stored files to web links and e-mail attachments for any malicious content to make sure that your Mac is always safe from any potential malware infection.

It is also important to mention that you have to start Avira Security by clicking the Start button to free up storage, change your Mac's IP address and encrypt your Internet connection to boost your online privacy.

If you want to increase your online privacy and protect your data from malware infections, you should give Avira Security as it comes with the perfect set of features for the job.
