This is AVGs attempt at gaining a foothold in the Mac market, and it comes with what it calls triple protection, offering to block PC and Android viruses as well as Mac ones. That means if Mac users accidentally download infected files for other platforms, AVG will attempt to alert them before the file is passed on where it could do some serious damage.
Like all anti-virus software, AVG AntiVirus for Mac runs in the background offering real-time protection, which translates into scanning every file thats opened, copied or saved for possible infection. It also comes with a File Scanner, allowing users to manually drag and drop suspect files for it to process.
The app also comes with the promise of automatic background updates, ensuring your Mac is protected against the latest threats as theyre detected and nullified. As with all free products, theres a distinct lack of extras this is a simple anti-malware tool, so works best in conjunction with a layered security approach where additional protection is added. Of course, OS X has always made it difficult for malware to gain a foothold blocking apps from unknown developers by default, for example.
AVG should appeal to those who have frequent access to other, more vulnerable platforms for the average Mac user, however, theres little to recommend this over any existing free anti-virus tool you may already have installed.
