mac edition - what to do with 3 found viruses

Viruses and worms
1

Hello all,

I recently installed Avast! antivirus for Windows.
It states …3 viruses found in 599095 items. 3 scans.

I cannot figure how how to delete or otherwise get rid of the viruses.
I opened the “virus chest” and the heading of the virus chest says “0 objects”

Also the following are “grayed out” (I cannot get into)
Scan Now; Scan volume;Scan Folder; Check Update

Underneath Scan Now is the phrase…
Avast! is waiting for command
(I don’t know what command it is waiting for, and also
don’t know how to execute the command it is waiting for)

I am not too worried about viruses, just have Macbook without Windows.
Still, I would like antivirus protection and thought (perhaps wrongly) that
this would be a good choice.

Any/all suggestions welcome!
Including and guides out there on Avast, what free antivirus protection software
is out there, etc.

Thank you so much in advance for “listening”
I appreciate

Janice

My apologies if this was already posted, I really tried to look for an answer first!!!

Welcome to the forums, Janice. :slight_smile:

Hmmm … you have avast for Windows but you own a Macbook without Windows? ???

Why did you not get avast for Macs? ??? See the link below :
