Macs from Apple are known to be immune to malware attacks. However, the recent attack by a malicious code on a Macintosh has proven the record wrong. Plus, its reputation of being the most secure computing machine has also been endangered.
Until now the chief threat to the Mac line of products was none other than adware. However, the trend seems to change, with Macs having been affected by ransomware for the first time recently. It was just the last weekend that a ransomware targeted the OS X by encrypting the files seeking a ransom.
Further, the files in the system get locked and huge bucks are demanded, to get access to a key that would unlock the files. Consequently, this has led the leading security software company, Avast to devise a security product called Free Mac Security that has the ability to block the ransomware before it can get onto any system and damage it. With that, the manufacturer also empowers users with Avast technical support to protect Mac users from the security threats and also to be able to make use of all features provided in it.
The reason for the development of Mac based security products by Avast is that the company is concerned about the safety and security of user data. Further, attacks by ransomware are a serious threat to both data, storage system, whether it is a Mac, Windows PC or a smartphone. Nonetheless, to be able to access Avast technical support on the same, professionals from Techcillin must be contacted at 1-866-757-9494.
