Avast For Mac Installation Failed

Avast Security for Mac is a free, lightweight security app that protects in real-time against malware, unsafe websites, dangerous downloads, malicious email attachments, and infected external drives. Installation failed. Go try the Avast free download. It is less bloated and their marketing department is less psychopathic. Avast Premium Security (for Mac) doesn't get you the wealth of features found in the Windows version, but if you have sufficient licenses, you may as well install it. I've reviewed the macOS.

To fix this problem, uninstall any third-party security software that was installed on your Mac. If the problem persists, run a removal tool to remove the remnants of security software.

Failed

Uninstall the third-party security software

  1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock to be in the Finder.

  2. On the menu bar, click Go > Applications.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • If an app isn't in a folder or doesn't have an Uninstaller, drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash, then choose Finder > Empty Trash.

    • If the app is in a folder, open the app's folder to check for an Uninstaller. If you see Uninstall App or App Uninstaller, double-click it.

      Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the app.

  4. After completing the uninstall, restart your Mac and install Norton.

    If the problem persists, go to step 2 to run the RemoveCompetitiveProducts tool.
