  1. @treed, @alvarnell

    Can you give me, pending a web protection by Malwarebytes for Safari - or better yet a web protection for macOS (like in MS Windows, so not just an extension) -, an opinion about the Norton Safe Web app downloadable from the Mac AppStore? Link to "Norton Safe Web from Mac AppStore".

    In your opinion, can it have access to sensitive data such as credit cards, passwords, bank and social security data?

    Thank you

    Good weekend

  2. It has been published on the Mac AppStore Paragon Firewall - Network Monitor  

    Being a free download I made the purchase, because recommended by an Italian blog that talks about Apple, but I stopped the installation before authorizing the system extension in privacy panel and I had uninstall the App in order to get more information about it.

    Despite this in the folder /Library/SystemExtensions there is a sub-folder, called 70A4731C-2F4C-4B82-9857-DB4F3372F736 with inside  the app has left its extension called com.paragon-software.FirewallApp.NetworkFilterExtension.systemextension, and a file called db.plist

    I wanted to know what you thought of the software and if it is risky to leave this extension in the system which however is not removable.

    Thanks to everyone who will help me and Merry Christmas to all the staff and forum users.

    It's just that previously with upgrades of operating systems from the 'root' system that a computer was bought with I've noticed a serious drop in speed.

    what you say, in my opinion,  is more a problem of the Windows world.
    Obviously the argument is valid if you have the SSD and not the HDD

    Obviously it is always essential to make a backup before each update so as to be able to restore the previous situation in case of problems;
    it is also always possible to make a clean installation; this year the system is only 64 bit so any app can take advantage of all available memory.

     

  4. You cannot download Malwarebytes version 4.x because it has the minimum requirement macOS 10.11 El Capitan

    Your 3.x version will always work

    If I'm not too indiscreet, can I ask you which MacBook Pro you have?

    I ask this because with a MacBook Pro 13 "Mid 2012 (in which I installed the SSD and 10 Gb RAM) I quietly use macOS 10.15.2 Catalina

    I hope I was helpful

    Good day

  5. Greetings

    I use Malwarebytes 4.x and as Browser only Safari (so without Malwarebytes extension, at least for the moment).

    My system is Catalina 10.15.2 and Safari is Version 13.0.4 (15608.4.9.1.3); I use Ka-Block! as ad-blocker.

    With these assumptions, is it possible to know how many hours it takes to set the programmed scan?

    Currently (reminiscent of Malwarebytes 3.x) I set it every hour with the updating of the definitions every hour.

    Thanks to all

    Good evening (at least in Italy)

  6. Would anyone, kindly, tell me if the 1.1.1.1 app (free version) is safe or not to trust, since it installs a VPN profile without being a real VPN?

    However I would use it in conjunction with Malwarebytes WEB / Adblocker protection (for now in beta because I am in Italy).

    I thank all those who will help me.

    Good evening

  7. I only reported it as feedback, as a beta-tester, and being the first time I try to report a number.

    In fact, the zone prefix is cut, so I don't know if, once released for Italy, the app can correctly block the numbers indicated by the users.

    It will thus be useless for Italian users because it will not be able to block unwanted numbers; the function will not be usable therefore. If in fact it is registered with a 51 prefix instead of 051 it will not be able to block anything and will make the Call Blocking function (moreover one of the paid ones) completely useless for Italian users.

    For more information point out that the area codes in Italy are all composed of two, three or four digits with always a 0 as the first digit, and the Mobile prefixes are all three digits and all start with the number 3 whatever the operator

     

    In the meantime I also opened, as advised by @alvarnell (thank you), a support ticket.

     

  8. I use the Beta 1.4.2

    I ask:

    • on iOS, should Malwarebytes always be active?
    • Does it need the background update of the app active  to take effect?
    • Does it  need only one of the two (if so which one?) or it doesn’t need any of it because it works?

    Apple Support told me a few months ago to completely deactivated the background update in iOS because it was basically not very useful and only energivorous

    Thanks to everyone 

    A greeting

  9. Since on iOS, any browser uses the Safari engine because forced by Apple, Malwarebytes for iOS protects any installed browser or only Safari?
    I ask because I read on internet that some extensions would work on any browser for the above reason, but being read on internet I think the news should be taken with pliers.
    Thanks
