Avast virus free icon mail on mac

The Avast virus-free icon with a mail symbol on a Mac is a notification that indicates your Avast antivirus software has detected and removed a virus or malware from your email attachments or messages.

Here's what you can do:

  1. Check your email: Open your email client (e.g., Mail, Outlook, or Gmail) and check the message that triggered the notification. Look for any suspicious attachments or links that may have been flagged by Avast.
  2. View the Avast notification: Click on the Avast icon in the menu bar (usually located at the top right corner of the screen) and select "Notifications" or "History" to view the details of the detected threat.
  3. Review the threat details: In the Avast notification window, you'll see information about the detected threat, including the type of malware, the file name, and the location where it was found.
  4. Take action: Depending on the type of threat, you may need to:
    • Delete the infected file or message.
    • Quarantine the file or message to prevent it from spreading.
    • Update your Avast software to ensure you have the latest virus definitions.
  5. Configure Avast settings: If you want to customize how Avast handles email scanning, you can do so by going to Avast > Preferences > Email Scanning. Here, you can adjust settings such as the types of files to scan, the level of scanning, and more.

Remember to always keep your Avast software up to date and follow best practices for email safety to minimize the risk of malware infections.
