Is Avast antivirus is not closing on your Mac? It seems like the program got freezes or crashes. In this case, the software can’t run a virus scan and do any other task. Also, the risk of malware infection also increases. When Avast doesn’t close then follow the below given guideline to solve this issue.

How you may know that Avast freezes? Here is the answer:


If Avast antivirus freezes or crashes then, this program will not close on our Mac system. It became unresponsive and nothing happens on the screen. If you will try to move the mouse to see if something happens then, you can notice the multicolored ring that keeps on rotating like something is loading.


The root of the dilemma:


Avast got freezes when more than one file is damaged, missing or experiencing a temporary loading issue. This plight may also occur when the computer (Mac) on which you are running this program doesn’t meet the basic system requirements. It is only compatible with Intel-based Mac OS X Operating systems. The system older than 10.5x doesn’t contain the necessary drivers and components used to run this program. Such computers make it tough to load files of Avast and system processes, which may result in freezing issues.


Compel quitting:


If Avast is not working then escaping it would not be easy. Force quitting may work to some extent. When you do this, your Mac computer automatically powers down the program’s processes. This method is done when any software becomes unresponsive and you left with no other option. But, do remember one thing i.e. unsaved changes will be lost. To force quit the software, open “Force Quit” from the Apple menu. You will see a list of programs that are currently running o the system. Select “Avast” and then click on the “Force Quit” button to exit the program.


Helpful tips:


If Avast still continues freezing then it’s better to uninstall and then re-install the software because this problem may be caused by some damaged or corrupted files. Re-installing the software will clear this issue.
