OK thanks. Eventually it is better to also insert TextMaker and PlanMaker in the other category.

Question to @treed If I wants to give full access to the disk at Bitdefender Free (from Mac AppStore) to run, rarely, a full system scan, have I some risks of some kind?

I would like to know why the notification emails of this forum, which are sent to me, if displayed on MacOS Mail appear readable; if viewed on iOS Mail they appear as in the screenshot that I am attaching (Obviously I deleted the recipient of the email). Thanks Greetings Maxbar1

I haven't received any news for twelve days yet: can anyone give me clarification about my request? Thank you Greetings

For the use that I have to make very sporadic I choose BitDefender because it is free unlike ClamXAv. Normally in fact I use Malwarebytes Premium but a complete scan every now and then maybe it doesn't (in that case you have to give full access to the disk: is Bitdefender to trust?) Pure curiosity, regarding ONLY the MAC, is Intego legitimate or is it a risk?

Hello @treed Can you tell me if, to scan, rarely, on demand files or disks to share with Windows users, Intego Virus Barrier (from Mac AppStore, without special permissions and without full access to the internal disk) can be fine and is it safe? (Is it possible, eventually, to give him full access to the disc without risk for an occasional scan?) On Virus Total sha-256 f816b1fd93eab5801b931da32d694a5529c7bee5e9ccd237ec0d577dbff06599 https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/f816b1fd93eab5801b931da32d694a5529c7bee5e9ccd237ec0d577dbff06599/detection On Mac AppStore https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/intego-virusbarrier-scanner/id1200445649?mt=12 or is it better BitDefender (same settings) On Mac AppStore https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/bitdefender-virus-scanner/id500154009?mt=12 both are not blocked in any way by Malwarebytes for macOS I could not try BitDefender on VirusTotal because the file is 308 MB and exceeds the maximum upload capacity, Intego Virus Barrier is completely clean instead. Thanks Greetings Massimiliano

In reality it is not completely free and produced by the same developer I had an uninstaller that was deleted from the Mac AppStore and offered me a free license on the other hand outside the Mac AppStore (obviously after the advice of @treed I do not use it anymore) therefore I preferred to opt for another choice. Instead I downloaded from the Apple store Duplicate Files Sweeper by Wise Tech Labs Private Limited which is free and not blocked, for the time being, by Malwarebytes.

Can you recommend to me two apps, obviously safe, with the same duplicate search functions (files & photo), which, like these, can be downloaded for free? Thanks

Have you tried to perform what described in this post?

Until version 3.6 they were not even considered and were allowed to run regularly. I would like to know from @treed or from other staff members what this behavior is due to. Thank you Greetings Massimiliano

Received 1.3.1 four days ago

go to Malwarebytes | My Account

No news on this @Arthi? Thank you Regards

Thanks to all the staff Received this morning the new beta. It works perfectly. The only lack that I had already reported: the possibility of having two different allow lists , one for web protection and one for ad-blocking so that one can, if desired, support a website enabling it to show advertising but preserving the web protection for that site too (a bit like on Malwarebytes for Firefox).

Thanks for the moment while waiting for a response from @Arthi

I attach the required logs mbst-grab-results.zip Thanks Greeting Massimiliano

From the tech support they told me to address the exploit engineers here on the forum about the changes I made to the exploit protection settings. Therefore I attach a screen of the changes made: all custom entries have been set as OTHER, except TextMaker and PlanMaker (which correspond to Word and Excel respectively) Softmaker Office products that have been set as MSOFFICE. As for the advanced exploit settings I checked that there were no changes by clicking on the RESTORE DEFAULT button. Please let me know if the settings are correct or require changes.

If Malwarebytes were present on the Italian AppStore I would buy it immediately. Unfortunately it is not available yet. Will you release a beta version again? Thank you Greetings

Update ok last night. Thank you

It has already been said: read here

Personally I use Malwarebytes for macOS, Windows and Android and since I use them I have no problem with my hardware anymore

Thanks @digmorcrusher. I will follow your advice (not that of CCleaner because I have found on the Internet several articles concerning privacy management not really transparent) but to use only the tools integrated into the system (I will keep the portable version of Privazer for rare needs). Thanks again A greeting Massimiliano

The reason why I used Privazer was mostly for privacy. Indeed - Removes cookies for privacy, but keeping the useful ones - Remove invalid links from the Start menu. - Delete history of recent and temporary files in Office programs. - Delete history of recent, temporary and useless files of programs installed on your PC. - Cleans the image thumbnail cache - Clear auto-complete history on web browsers. - Remove site thumbnails - Delete the Microsoft Games from the history - Delete file of the previous Windows installation - Recover space from Windows Update - Clean up Windows Prefetch (only unnecessary items) - Disable hibernation to gain disk space In light of all that exposed what do you think?

I can even delete it if it is useless. Surely I will not use CCleaner because it gives me even less confidence: I prefer to use only the Windows tools in that case.

So what should I do with the Privazer program?
