#AVAST FOR APPLE IPHONE INSTALL#
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.Such products are very aggressively marketed. Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny".Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.Ī much better question is "how should I protect my Mac": OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense.You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices.There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool: Installing Avast or similarly ill-conceived garbage will only exacerbate whatever problems may exist. If you are having trouble with your Mac, describe it in as much detail as you are able.
Whatever you decide to do, do not install Avast, which is arguably malicious in itself.
