I would also say that quickie, one-liner 5-star reviews by people who purport to be Mac malware experts (I'm referring to 'Hanspoot' just below) with 'over 300' clients are EXCEPTIONALLY worthless.Įspecially when that 'expert' is claiming (it actually sounds like boasting) that his 300+ clients are averaging 5 infections PER MONTH. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware works with minimum fussing and gets the job done, plain and simple.I have stated this before on MacUpdate but, since some people didn't get the memo, I'll say it again: Quickie, one-liner 5-star reviews on this site are WORTHLESS. If you are looking for an anti-malware app that works quickly and well, then Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is just the app for you. Item removal during a reboot is extremely smooth and quick…on our example system the “cleanup reboot process” looked exactly like a normal reboot ( terrific!). If there is any malware that needs to be removed during a reboot, you will see a message detailing exactly what will be taken care of as soon as you restart your computer.

You should take whatever actions Malwarebytes recommends unless you have an extremely good reason to ignore the recommendations. The Scan Results window will also let you pick what you do with all of the malware or potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) the scan revealed.

You can export the results of your scan to a text file by clicking “Save Results.” Once Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware has finished scanning your computer, it will display the number of items scanned, the number of infected objects found, and the time elapsed.
