Avira Free Mac Security gets an update to boost security

Latest version of software supports the new Mac OS X 10.9.

By Kate Heslop

Avira, an anti-virus software company, has announced a 2.0.1 version remake of its award-winning Avira Free Mac Security.

The latest version of Avira’s Free Mac Security now supports the new Mac OS X 10.9 and sporting important new security features.

With Avira Free Mac Security, users can perform a quick scan of vulnerable directories on their computer, even as the security software is being installed. This eliminates the possibility of an already-infected computer being able to thwart security software installation and detection systems.

Avira Free Mac Security retains its most popular features such as one-click repair, on-access scanning, and a Security Status screen where you can manage all your Mac’s security info in one spot. It is also able to update both the product and the detection simultaneously, therefore ensuring that the application always provides the highest possible level of protection.

Travis Witteveen, CEO of Avira said: "Not quite a year ago, Avira was a new-comer to the Mac sector. But today we have a customer base of nearly 350,000 users of our Mac product and even more using our free Mobile Security product for iPhone and iPad. "Our reputation for high detection rates and reliable security that ‘just works’ seems to resonate with Apple users. So we will continue to invest in developing more security features for Apple devices."
