How do I uninstall Avast for Mac? It won't quit, and I can do a backup with an open application. Ask Your Own Mac Question. Hi, I'm on a Macbook OS X, 10.6.8. I was importing photos from iPhone and its telling me that my 'Startup Disk is almost full'. However, I have over 11gb of free space on my hard drive.
OS X doesn't really need any antivirus, but you are running a very old version in 10.6. I'd just update to 10.11 'El Capitan' if I could and if not just download Avast for Mac. – RedEagle2000 Feb 2 '16 at 1:25.

So another words, it's not compatible with Snow Leopard? I have an older MAC and Snow Leopard is the last that can be upgraded. Is there AVG protection for AC with Snow leoprd?

Any suggestions?
Yes. Remove the worthless Norton product.
Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.

The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known Mac malware takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Avast For Mac 10.6.8 Free Download
Any website that prompts you to install software, such as a “codec” or “plug-in,” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.

Never install any commercial 'anti-virus' products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav -- nothing else.
