Whether or not you believe in protecting your Mac from malware on an ongoing basis, there’s no good reason to not install MBAM-Mac and occasionally let it scan your hard drive.
In most cases, MBAM-Mac can simply remove any suspicious or infected files (this may require a reboot, but not always), but look out for an exclamation mark – this indicates the malware may be trickier to remove, and should provide a link to more help dealing with this particular infection. Removing these wipes all your browser settings, so the program leaves them unticked to prevent you from accidentally deleting them before due consideration has been made. The program’s footprint is small, it’s a synch to use, and it’ll quickly flag up anything that’s sneaked on to your system without you realising it.ĭon’t be surprised if certain items aren’t selected by default – these are typically legitimate files (like browser preferences) that have been modified by the infection.
It’s a simple scan and remove tool, designed to detect various forms of Mac malware and then purge it.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac is based on the popular and powerful AdwareMedic.
