I couldn't get it to work in Mavericks for some reason. I get a 7005 error. The Avast forums were hacked and are down, so it's hard to understand what this means. I haven't contacted support yet.
It happened to me while I was on my home network a google search from Firefox. Google redirected me to a page with the message "Unusual traffic from your computer network" and asked me solve a captcha. I tried to search again (without solving the captcha) and the warning went away.
Yes, Google Search. I think I'm just being paranoid. This happened to me before, but given that someone just got my credit card number and I have no idea how, I was afraid that my computer was infected with some sort of malware.
I don't have any cracked software installed. I also keep browser extensions to a minimum: AdBlock, EFF extensions, Mozilla approved extensions and that's pretty much it.
I installed Little Snitch again and I don't see anything unusual in the network activity.
My security settings only allow "Mac App Store and identified developers" applications to run.
My router is an Airport Express. I will reset it, change the username and password, but there's not much I can do with it.
Many years ago when I used Windows I had a few antivirus and other software that I relied on to check my computer for virus, malware etc. I was wondering if there's anything similar that you trust for OS X.
