Avast on Mac

General Topics
1

I have been using Avast since 2005 on all my home PCs and Laptop
and I absolutely LOVE it. Nice, save, fast and compact.
Not like the resource hogs from Norton or McAfee.

I am ready to buy Macintosh MacBook Pro next week and would like to
use Avast on my new Mac laptop.

Is there Avast Home edition for Mac? I could not find anything
on Avast web page.
If so, can you please direct me to URL were I can download it?

Thank you very much in advance.

@drhayden1
I was looking at your machine description(signature) that looks like quite a good machine ::slight_smile:
Specially the Vista Ultimate, I though that only Bill Gates could buy it because its so expensive ;D

The reason why I asked about URL for download was - that this thread came up almost 1 year ago and the answer was the same :-\

“A version of avast for Mac is coming soon.”…

That’s why I thought it would be out for now.

Vlku, can you tell us at least approximate ETA so we know what ‘soon’ means this time ? :wink:

If it is days/weeks - for many it will be worth waiting it if is months or quarters - perhaps we should look for other solution - at least for the time being.

Thanks in advance.

The release date is anticipated for March 2007.

And I will be looking forward to using Avast! on Mac just for the relief of my old windozes paranoia. ;D

meinrosebud-i don’t care for vista much either-i have the vista ultimate piece of crap on my quad processor desktop and i am having some issues with it and i have a mac for work only and i am seriously thinking of throwing the quad out the window(NOT REALLY)because of the vista crap and getting a mac for personal use ::slight_smile:

I understand how you feel, I beta tested most of the public beta versions of Vista and once the RC1 was released it sealed its own fate. I bought my Mac Mini 1.83 Core Duo to use as my home computer and I only run Windows XP when I am writing databases for work in Access. Wow, I can’t believe that they are continuing to fool the masses with their sub-standard software, they have spent millions of dollars of that dog and it is still crap. >:(

the gif below is where i really feel like sending vista ;D
click on gif to see it in action :smiley:

meinrosebud, your switching story just made my day a whole lot better :slight_smile:

Your post was edited because it links rogue website which tries to sell avast! Home.
More info

And description of avast! is copy&paste from the same website, but targeted to sell winamp (try to change avast to winamp in url)…
