Boot Time Scan?

system · 2015-11-27T02:40:54.000Z

Hello, I’ve just installed Avast on my girlfriends Mac but despite clearly having issues with pop-ups and strange website mis-direction the scans don’t seem to be picking up on anything.

Is there a boot time scan like in the windows? I’ve found that is typically more likely to detect virus’s and trojans.

Any idea on how to make that work or any suggestions on how to clean a Mac?

Thanks,

Looks as it may be full of crapware
