You can install and run the VPN, but when you try to connect to a server you get a choice of signing up for $3.89 per month or starting a seven-day trial. I did find a link to install the VPN on the Subscriptions page in Settings. I didn't bother with the password manager, since it seems that's not considered part of the product anymore. The only way I could install the important Online Security extension was to download it directly from the Chrome store. There's no Tools page in the current product, though, and I couldn't find any reference to the browser extensions. As of my last review, these were on the Tools page, along with Avast SecureLine VPN. Avast Security offers Macs protection against malware along with a network security scanner, all for a cost of exactly nothing.Īfter the speedy installation, I went looking for the password manager and Online Security browser extension. The situation may not be nearly as bad as for Window or Android, but prudence still dictates that you install antivirus protection on your Macs as well. It wasn't true, alas, and we're seeing more and more Mac-specific malware attacks. Apple promoted this dream, with ads claiming that PCs get malware, not Macs. For many years, Mac users imagined that they lived in the land of virus-free computing.
