AvastSecureLine
Avast SecureLine is a commercial VPN client for macOS developed by Avast Software, designed to encrypt internet traffic and mask the user's IP address when connecting to public or untrusted networks. It offers features such as automatic connection on untrusted networks, protocol selection (OpenVPN, IKEv2, Wireguard), server selection across multiple countries, and DNS leak protection. The app targets consumers concerned with online privacy, security on public Wi-Fi, and geographic content access. SecureLine comes as a paid subscription service bundled with other Avast security products or as a standalone VPN application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe bundle ID com.avast.osx.secureline.alertnotification indicates this is a helper component of the Avast SecureLine VPN application, not the main app itself. Helper bundles like this are not separately updatable — updating the parent SecureLine application will update the helper component. We could not find recent information confirming whether Avast has released a native Apple Silicon build of SecureLine. Contact Avast directly through their support site or check your SecureLine app (Help → About or Settings → General) to confirm which architecture version you have installed. If your copy is still Intel-only, ask Avast whether a native Apple Silicon build is available, as all Intel-only builds will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If Avast has not yet released a native build, press them for a timeline, as you will need to switch to an alternative VPN before the deadline.
