Avast Antivirus Mac For Malicious

It scans programs and files saved on your Mac for malicious threats in real-time before allowing them to be opened, run, modified, or saved.

If malware is detected, File Shield prevents the program or file from infecting your Mac.

It scans data that is transferred when you browse the internet in real-time to prevent malware, such as malicious scripts, from being downloaded and run on your Mac.

It scans your incoming and outgoing email messages in real-time for malicious content such as viruses.

Scanning applies only to messages sent or received using a mail management software (email clients, such as Mail, Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird).

If you access your web based email account via an internet browser, your Mac is protected by other Avast Security shields.

It protects against DNS (Domain Name System) hijacking by providing an encrypted connection between your web browser and Avasts own DNS server.

DNS hijacking (or DNS redirection) is a type of malicious attack that redirects you from the site you want to visit, to another site that may look just like it, but which can steal information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.

This type of attack is especially dangerous when used with banking and shopping websites.

Real Site blocks these fake websites and ensures that the displayed website is the actual authentic one you want to visit.

Additionally, you can specify which applications are allowed to modify the files in your protected folders.

Files inside the Virus Chest are not accessible to any outside process, software application, or virus.
