[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1620971"] Get rid of Avast. Don't need it. It's not doing anything except wasting your time and money. There are NO viruses for Mac that Avast (or any other A/V package) will detect. When a virus for OS X is created, it will come through an unknown vector and the A/V writers will have to come up with something to look at that vector. Right now all they scan for is Windows viruses, which CANNOT do anything on your iMac. [/QUOTE]
