PRESS RELEASE
(London, 29th October 2013) - Avira, a global anti-virus software company with over 100 million users, today announced a 2.0.1 version remake of its award-winning Avira Free Mac Security-now supporting the new Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and sporting important new security features.
Central to the new version of Avira Free Mac Security is the ability to perform a quick scan of vulnerable directories on the computer even as the security software is being installed, which 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. Another new feature is the ability to update both the product and the detection simultaneously, therefore ensuring that the application always provides the highest possible level of protection.
"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," said Travis Witteveen, CEO of Avira. "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."
Avira Free Mac Security, which recently earned the ‘Approved Security Product' award by AV-Comparatives, is available now, for free.
Download it here. It works on any Mac running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or higher.
