Hello @CidiLabsBrad: The CPU load you see for the RTProtectionDaemon PID seems quite normal. You may be failing to account for the WindowServer and kernel_task processes, which are always busy and whose data transfers are monitored by MB5's RTProtectionDaemon. Stopping the RTProtectionDaemon process is the same as having no Malwarebytes real-time protection. In particular, macOS needs to run several assorted tasks just after a startup/restart. What is the reason you frequently need to restart the MBA? Is the MBA under resourced for the work you do? I am @1PW. HTH

Hello @CidiLabsBrad: As you may have already gleaned from its name, the MBAM RTProtectionDaemon is a macOS background protection process that monitors all macOS data transfers for malware detection. The daemon works in concert with Apple's other macOS real-time protection schemes. HTH

The latest Fresh Branch 24.2.4.2 was released. (06-June-2024) The latest Still Branch 7.6.7.2 remains unchanged. (10-May-2024) Release Notes | Fresh & Still Branch Downloads | Wiki |

Hello @anjaymabar18 and : Please delete the previous MBSetup.exe file and download only a new mb5-setup-consumer installer file. Restart the Windows system and now try installing MBAM from the replacement file from step 1 above. Afterwords, please reply to this topic with the status of the new MBAM install. Thank you.

Hello @dougis and : It is quite unlikely the MBG team has tested v3.0.3 Beta with other browsers, much beyond Google's Chrome v125.0.6422.142. If you remove v3.0.3 Beta and download/install the General Availability (GA) v2.6.26, further help can be rendered. Thank you. cc: @gatortail

Hello @Windows_Security: A similar question was posted earlier regarding the Malwarebytes for Linux project. Reference: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/312852-any-plans-to-release-a-debianubuntulinux-version/ Thank you. Ping @jboursier

Presently, I am seeing the desired MBG Trojan block. I believe we can be certain this is something @gatortail and staffers are watching. HTH

Hello @Xauma95: Many years back, some member/staffer talk discussed this. As you now see, the frequently updated Malwarebytes Browser Guard (MBG) extension has proved quite successful. Malwarebytes 5 for Mac (MB5) defaults to always having the RTProtectionDaemon running that evaluates data transfers. Apple has recently made very worthwhile improvements. Staffers will need to provide a more complete answer. HTH cc: @treed

Hello @Shah: Not to worry. All will be made right.

Hello @Shah: Your topic is presently in a subforum dedicated to the removal of malware in an Apple Mac device. The system you posted details for is Microsoft Windows based? Yes?

Hello @Shah: A request has been made to move your topic to a more Microsoft Windows 11 appropriate subforum. HTH

Hello @TRIMHORN: Knowing now that your macOS mail app is used is critically helpful. Although I have an account with another email provider I use for testing with the Apple mail app, (macOS Sonoma 14.5, Mail 16.0 (3774.600.62), and Malwarebytes for Mac (MB5) Premium Plus 5.2.3), I, personally, do not have an account with Hotmail (Outlook) with which to verify and test. A Screenshot of the MB5/Mail sign-in's RTP App Blocks error window may be additionally helpful for the developers. Please drag the produced .png file to your topic reply window to attach. Thank you.

Hello @Velo: I apologize for not remembering your current forum's membership level restricts entry to forum “Private Rooms”. If you wish, you may communicate directly with that subforum's author via Private Messaging. Please select the envelope icon near the upper-right of a forum window and send your message to jboursier. Thank you.

Hello @Velo and : It appears as if the project has been “pushed to a back burner”. Malwarebytes for Linux HTH

Hello @TRIMHORN and : As multiple methods are available to sign in to a Hotmail (Outlook) account, please reply to this topic with details of your typical methodology: Q1: a.) Do you use Outlook for Mac or an Internet browser? b.) If a browser, which exact browser and version. Q2: Please specify which Malwarebytes product AND version is putting up a block? e.g., Malwarebytes for macOS (MB5 for Mac), Malwarebytes Browser Guard (MBG).etc. A Screenshot of the sign in block window would be most helpful. Please drag the produced .png file to your topic reply window to attach. The more granularity and verbose in the reply's details, the better. Thank you.

Hello @gatortail: As @DanielleBBCPA related this morning, I can no longer duplicate the originally reported issue. Has the MBG for Mac 2.5.0 extension's database perhaps been updated earlier today or late yesterday? HTH

Hello @DanielleBBCPA: I sincerely apologize for my confusing post to your topic. If I had addressed my reply directly to @gatortail and cc'd you at the end, the Malwarebytes Program Manager for MBG would have been the primary addressee. I wanted Matt to have all the necessary facts for more in-depth analysis. As to your remaining hacking concerns, you have not related any other facts that would point in that direction. As long as the iMac is kept up-to-date, and your colleague does the same, your fears should be minimal. Thank you.

Good Morning Matt: Yes. All seems well. Thank you.

Hello @AdvancedSetup: I usually update the day before the release notes are published (i.e., Mondays). If I see trouble, it's likely I'll post a warning instead of a release update to this topic. I had no observable troubles just after my v126.0.1 update. I took one short glance at Mozilla's Bugzilla for Firefox, but nothing caught my eye yet. Again, if the user doesn't see an app crash immediately after update, they likely won't see one later. HTH

A post has been published elsewhere that mentions Firefox 126.0.1 suffers app crashes by a few Windows users shortly after a version update is made. As of today, Mozilla Firefox developers have made a version 126.0.2 RC1 available. FWIW
