Avira Security is a macOS antivirus and antimalware utility developed by Avira, designed to protect against viruses, trojans, ransomware and other malicious threats. The app combines Avira's detection engine with Apple's built-in security features to scan files and system activity in real-time. It offers quarantine and threat removal, scheduled scans, and system performance monitoring. Avira Security is distributed as a standalone Mac security tool and is maintained by Avira as part of their broader security product line. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Avira Security exists and has been confirmed running on Macs in our community. If you are still on an Intel-only version, the simplest path to upgrade is to visit Avira's official website and download the latest installer for macOS — it will be a Universal Binary that works natively on Apple Silicon. Alternatively, if Avira Security was installed via the Mac App Store, open the App Store app, go to the Updates tab, and install any available update; the native build will be served automatically. After upgrading, your existing security settings, quarantine logs and scheduled scans will carry over without any manual migration needed. Expect noticeably faster scan times and better battery life compared to running the older Intel version under Rosetta.
