Try putting an ad-blocker extension
If you use Chrome or Firefox there is the excellent Malwarebytes Browser Guard free from the respective Extension Store
If you use Safari try the valid ka-block! from the Mac AppStore (always free) waiting for Malwarebytes to publish something.

So you should solve your problem.

[Can't install. Doesn't recognize that I've ALLOWED under privacy settings]

For installation of Malwarebytes for macOS read this article https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-2634

if you have Catalina you must read also https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-3477

[OSX.Genieo]

Full Disk Access is in this document https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-3477

[OSX.Genieo]

Do you use macOS Catalina?
If so, have you granted full disk access to this process

/ Library / Application Support / Malwarebytes / MBAM / Engine.bundle / Contents / PlugIns / RTProtectionDaemon.app

in privacy settings?

[Information regarding the protection offered]

One request to @treed or other Malwarebytes for iOS staff members.

I would be interested to know if Malwarebytes for iOS offers protection against apps similar to the 17 developed by AppAspect Technologies Pvt. recently discovered on the AppStore by Wandera Threat Labs (which contain Malware that can be activated later via C&C server) and promptly removed by Apple or if it is possible to implement a protection of this type if it is still not present or alternatively what a user can do to protect himself from this.

Thanks

Regards

[Unable to activate real-time protection on macOS Catalina - No Allow Button]

I've added other instructions above

[Unable to activate real-time protection on macOS Catalina - No Allow Button]

It is located on that screen but in the general tab

In Catalina it is necessary to provide full access to the disk and the Malwarebytes Protection app (also called RTProtectionDaemon) available here (/ Library / Application support / Malwarebytes / MBAM / Engine.bundle / Contents / PlugIns / RTProtectionDaemon.app).

Go to Finder -> Go Menu -> Go to the folder and paste the path, then drag the app into the full disk access settings after unlocking the padlock on the bottom left

I hope I was helpful

Good evening

I have Adguard on my Mac.  It is reporting the link in post #4 as a malware page & is blocking that link.

Just so you know.

Malwarebytes for iOS don’t detect it

I asked this question and was answered here (post # 9)

[Catalina is out]

Ok, that's where I thought it was at.  However, Engine.bundle has nothing to drill down to below that.  I click on it and it looks like a white lego, not a folder so something happened when the software updated.

 

Right click on ENGINE.BUNDLE -> show package contents -> Contents -> PlugIns
In there you will find the file but if you paste the complete path that I have indicated it will take you directly to the file concerned (RTProtectionDaemon or Malwarebytes Protection if you prefer)

[Catalina is out]

Finder -> go to folder

/Library/Application Support/Malwarebytes/MBAM/Engine.bundle/Contents/PlugIns/RTProtectionDaemon.app

Important: it is displayed as Malwarebytes Protection in that folder

Malwarebytes Protection (which corresponds to RTProtectionDaemon.app) is the app to give full access to the disk.

 

Installed version 3.9.32 downloadable from the official site (not beta version): it works correctly with macOS Version 10.15 (Build 19A583)

 

 

 

[Not sure if this is a legitimate version of Malwarebytes]

If you downloaded it from https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac-download/   it is the correct version, go quiet;  I downloaded it now too.

[Problems loading a website]

@treed  I report the problem again.

If I delete the cookies and the browser cache (Safari) I am obliged to disable the MWB ad blocker, reload the site and this point I can reactivate the MWB ad blocker and it does not give me any more problems until I clean up the data of Safari.

With ka-block! on macOS and on iOS the only thing I have to do is reload the site when I delete the Safari data but I never have to disable the ad-blocker. I only use the other three MWB protections.

It happens only with the website Spider-Mac which from today has only advertising of the Apple circuit. Despite this the problem remains.

With any other site and any ad-blocks I use, nothing wrong happens.

This site must be reloaded after each cleaning but with MWB ad-block the process is more cumbersome. It also happens with your extensions on other browsers.

I can't understand why. Surely the site in question has some problems but despite the elimination of almost all the advertisements and the change of servers nothing has been solved.

The problem always turns out to be, in the cases in which it occurs, the failure to load the last articles and the wrong date on the articles displayed.

It doesn't just happen to me or at least I wasn't the only one that happened. I don't know what the situation of others is now.

Thanks for the attention

Have a good day

[Getting Malwarebytes started?]

follow these instructions

[Pop-ups Abound]

That M logo you are talking about appears if you use Malwarebytes Browser Guard on Firefox & Chrome and not on Safari or at least not yet.

[eanswers got on computer]

Follow the instructions in this post. It is a similar case to yours.

I hope I was helpful.

Have a nice Sunday

I suppose that there are other apps from Mac AppStore that would work as well.

Ka-Block was one of the first to convert and does not need to read or transmit content from any webpages.

I use Ka-Block!  since about 1 year and a half and I've never had any problems not even with Catalina Beta, not to mention the fact that it has no privileges on web pages as Al told: in one word FANTASTIC.

[Malwarebytes and Catalina]

@treed

I installed Catalina Beta version 10.15 (19A573a).
Only one things.
As shown in the attachment, I saw that the number of scanned elements has changed considerably:
    with Mojave it was around 10300 elements
    now with Catalina it reaches just under 7000 elements
Is it normal since apart from the SO nothing has changed since before?
Thanks
Good day

[Why does not the scan catch this adware? macsmart-optimize.club]

For Safari, at the moment, you can download from the Mac AppStore Ka-Block!  

It's completely free, has no privileges and the whitelist can be created from Safari Preferences-> Web Sites-> Content Block

I have been using it for years and I am fine.  
 

NB    It's just an Ad-Blocker;  it has no other functions.

[Clarifications regarding the permissions / privileges of the extension]

Thanks for the clarification.
I certainly read the guide and the FAQs

[Clarifications regarding the permissions / privileges of the extension]

Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox

I would be interested in having clarifications regarding
access to website data
access to browser tabs

How does the extension behave in terms of privacy?

For example, regarding the web forms in which sensitive data are entered (user names, passwords, credit cards, otp), content displayed using home-banking or similar, webmail, etc.

Thanks to anyone who will clarify my ideas

Have a nice Sunday

[Can't get Malware to clean out bugs on my Mac]

53 minutes ago, alvarnell said:

but not for Safari yet, so you'll need to try something else.

For Safari I recommend Ka-Block! downloadable free from the Mac AppStore. At least for me, since I use it 0 problems of that kind.

[Firefox Browser Guard extension live]

Personally I installed the MWB extension for the first time on this new installation of Firefox installed after a very long time and the email was not requested.

In the past I used the browser / extension pair but in the first beta test period.

[Feedback - Function request]

Functions that I would see well added to Malwarebytes for iOS

Ad-Blocker WebSite WhiteList
Phone Number BlackList  (not only derived from calls received with the phone app - which is already in iOS - but also manually by entering the number with numeric keypad)
Possibility to save the settings including the White & Black List on iCloud if it is necessary to restore them (in case of complete reset of the iPhone or reinstallation of MWB)

Greetings

[Current version of MWB and Catalina?]

unpleasant user experience

@treed I'm not interested in the release date of the correction because I'm more interested in the quality of the correction.
But I'd like to know what you mean by unpleasant user experience.

Since Apple will release an operating system only 64 bits, I would like to do a clean installation taking advantage of this to clean up my Mac. Unfortunately the current version does not install with Catalina starting from 0. Will a new version of MWB be published before the release of macOS? Thank you

Good day
