The last name on our list, Avast, is a great solution for those in search of free security tools for Mac. If you're interested in downsides, the tool has an average impact on your system and the interface is a bit bulky.
Furthermore, I also liked the tool's ability to stop websites from tracking you. What's really cool is that this application protects you when you go online as it has its own website index system, preventing you from visiting pages that could infect your PC. The Mac version comes fully equipped with effective protection against spyware and adware as well as decent virus detection capabilities. When it comes to free antivirus solutions, Avira is one of the most popular products on Windows as well as on Mac. To be perfectly honest, the application doesn't offer too many additional features, but there are times when simplicity can be a positive aspect. The free edition called Bitdefender Virus Scanner provides some really great scanning options and a very small (under 10%) performance impact. Sophos Home Edition Bitdefender Virus Scannerīitdefender is one of the biggest names in computer security and its award-winning detection system is just as good on Mac as it is on Windows, having an almost perfect accuracy score in the tests performed by specialists. As far as disadvantages go, this application has the slowest scanning speed out of all the tools included in this list. What's really cool about Sophos Home Edition is that it offers a surprisingly clean GUI and the impact on the overall system performance is nearly imperceptible. Sophos Home Edition is a free product that I consider to be one of the best security tools currently available the application provides all the features that you may need such as automatic virus protection, web protection and PUP detection, while also offering an almost perfect virus detection rate. One of the longest running antivirus tools for Mac, Sophos, has been around since 1982.
