    "Happy enough could be better"

    April 26, 2012  |   By andeyejah

    Pros

    Doesn't take much ram when running in the background.Ive noticed no slow down on my system with normal usage.

    Cons

    Takes good bit of ram on a full scan around 2.50 gbs according to activity monitor.A lot better than avast which took all 12 gigs on same full system scan

    Summary

    Viruses/Malware on a mac are hard to come by so of course the scan came up with nothing.I will update if i do get infected and avira misses it.
