We're moving to Avast Antivirus on our Macs and I'm about to start working on packaging it up. It doesn't come as a standard OS X installer package but a drag and drop app that installs its resources when it's launched for the first time. Anyone have any experience with it? Wondering if there are any particulars I need to watch out for.

Thanks,
Tom

I am just testing it now. We dragged and drop the package inside of the DMG to Casper Admin.

Set a simple policy ( Just testing on one machine)

It installed very nicely . the shields are on by default but the scan is not set by default.

I am suspect of it though as it is finding many viruses and Malware.

If you contact their support they will make a custom installer for you that is deployable with Casper.
