Not long ago, we reported that Apple had officially taken down the “MacBooks don’t get viruses” claim from its website. The tech company was facing pressure from its lawyers after Apple had experienced numerous security breaches over the last several months. Thus ended one of Apple’s biggest selling features.
Apple computers have been getting viruses for a little while now. To help you stay protected, here are some of the best free antivirus apps for the Mac:
3) Avast!
It might sound like something a pirate would say, but Avast! is actually a pretty good antivirus app. It’s completely free and it has an attractive, colorful user interface.  Cleaning out viruses is a breeze, and Avast! (exclamation mark required) scans for all sorts of malware.
2) Avira Free Mac Security
German antivirus company Avira makes a killer antivirus app for Macs. It’s called the Avira Free Mac Security app, and it’s available for both private consumers and businesses. Even better – the app doesn’t have any advertisements or pop-ups.
