Oh sorry! I have attached the report file and this is the Invalid Path message:
From the screenshot posted it turns out to be Malwarebytes for Windows and here we are on the Malwarebytes for iOS sub-forum.

No. About the quick scan you can find the answer here .

Thanks @alvarnell with the command you suggested
Apart from the ROOT users, MY PERSONAL USER (which I prefer not to name) and COM.MALWAREBYTES.MBAM.NOBODY,
- I found the user NOBODY (which I believe corresponds to the guest user ) and the user DAEMON
I ask @treed , @alvarnell , is everything normal?
Thanks
Good Evening (since you are in America, in Italy it is already morning)

Sorry, where do I check this presence?
I use the same version of Malwarebytes but I only have my user and guest disabled

Not sure what your aversion to Java is.
My distaste for Java is due to a personal experience.
The software that are used with the Public Administration in Italy (the only ones I had to use) to make them cross-platform, are written in Java and normally require obsolete Java versions (even two different ones for software connected to each other in the same year) and different for every year forcing you to keep multiple Java versions installed (obsolete is an understatement) to see data from previous years and in the Windows world I come from (abandoned for 8 years now) having multiple and mostly obsolete Java versions installed has always been a real jattura. -

Not sure what you meant by this (or what you wrote before editing) but I was referring to this.
I would simply define (but it is my personal opinion) software such as those considered in this post Definitely unwanted programs (not only potentially) - mainly for their way of proposing themselves or for aspects that I have read on the internet, from which I will do everything not to be even touched (as I always did with Flash). I also don't like Java applications (I've only used one, for a few years in the past, because it's required, but luckily that's not the case anymore).

Thanks @alvarnell , but I prefer to avoid experiments of this type, to avoid problems with my ISP (normally because the fixed line works they require you not to change the DNS on the router on the Fiber / FWA lines at the router level and to make as few changes as possible and it is It has already been an achievement of the last period to have the modem free (until recently it was mandatory to use a modem provided by the ISP completely blocked or almost on which it was not possible to modify practically anything - this is the beauty of being Italian).
I would prefer, as I wrote, a browser extension, to be used on Safari (iOS and macOS) as both me and my father (the only internet users at home we only use these two systems and this browser)

MacKeeper is just a PUP
Reductive definition for this software as for others

1blocker, which I am testing, also just prevents these downloads from showing up (from the websites above). It also allows you to block websites, but unfortunately it is a manual thing (personal rules)
1 hour ago, alvarnell said:to use Pi-Hole for my entire network
As I have already written to you once, I am not able to configure it (my experience with configurations such as linux is practically equal to 0) without considering that when a device is not under that network it would not be protected (read iPhone in 4G, for example when you are away from home).
I would be fine with an extension that does the work of Malwarebytes Browser Guard (for Safari, temporarily, at least until and if, the MWB extension can be presented) such as the web protection part of Malwarebytes for iOS (also of third parties, for the moment, o sigh !!!, forever) -
As for the blocking of URLs recognized as dangerous (such as the ones I reported here) - for these, an ad-blocker is enough but this is not always the case - what can be done?

They stick out like a sore thumb; pretty easy to recognize. But it would be nice if they were flagged!
Completely agree with this sentence

What are you seeking protection against? Just malware or do you need phishing and/or spam identification?
In the meantime, thanks for the quick reply
So far I have never caught any malware or fallen into phishing attempts (although they have tried).
However, given the increase in cases and the greater skill of hackers in this regard, help never hurts.
Spam, on the other hand, for the moment my provider blocks even too much (at least for now), in fact with the anti-spam filter active some emails did not arrive, they were not only addressed in the SPAM box and I had to deactivate the filter and do them resend.
That said, I would say additional Malware / Phishing security (I state that I don't click on links or download suspicious attachments).
Maybe an alert function would be enough.

As an antimalware, it is well known, I use Malwarebytes Premium for macOS and nothing else.
As a web protection, I use the one integrated in Safari (Google Safe Browsing and Prevent Tracking between Websites): I don't know if you can do anything else with Safari (any advice on the matter is welcome)
I prefer not to use / install other browsers, except for rare exceptions of use, followed by an immediate removal, as soon as it is no longer needed
As an ad-blocker, I have always used ka-block! but I am testing 1blocker (and I'm very satisfied with it so I think I'll make the purchase)
What can be done for emails apart from using the provider's virus / spam filter (specifically I use gmx.com)?
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with advice.
Have a good weekend

Since using Mac my protection has consisted of:
- AdwareMedic
- became the first version of Malwarebytes
- evolved into the current Malwarebytes Premium which added several layers of protection.
I am also scrupulous in surfing the internet.
For internet browsing I only use Safari and Ka-Block! (Free Ad-Blocker) as the only extension in addition to the safe browsing of Safari and the prevention of website monitoring (always included in Safari)
For more blocks you can evaluate 1Blocker (more than excellent but it is paid)
- No use of Torrent
- No use of Streaming (falsely free)
- or other similar things
Never infected with malware.
I hope I was helpful
Good day

The problem of the high energy consumption reported still remains
I attach new screenshots which always show a high consumption by Malwarebytes (Big Sur with M1 chip)
As you can see, the consumption of Malwarebytes Protection continues to be lower only than Safari (Safari, however, has been showing it for at least 7 years and that is since I have a Mac, Malwarebytes hasn't). On my father's Mac (x86) with Catalina the problem does not occur
Thanks for your attention on this issue

@AdvancedSetup please move the discussion to the android forum
-
Issues with external displays and Big Sur are reported here on the Apple Support Forum
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252174979?page=19
I don't know if it will help you to take a look at it

Nothing personal but I prefer an answer on this from @treed or a staff member as otherwise my premium license becomes completely useless for who knows how long if Apple removes Rosetta2 in Italy
-

Not sure why you need @treed to respond.
Because Treed can tell me more about the M1 version of Malwarebytes, which in my case is the only App that needs Rosetta2. Any other App, with this problem, that I have on my Mac I can do without them immediately

Rosetta May Be Removed From M1 Macs in Some Regions on macOS 11.3 (MacRumors.com)
@treed For Malwarebytes, how will those who have a Mac with an M1 chip after the release of macOS 11.3 do?
Thanks
-
@treed if it helps, I am attaching screenshots of Activity Monitor from my MacBook Air M1.
Only Safari consumes more (the excessive consumption of Safari, however, I have seen it since the days of Mac OSX 10.9, for Malwarebytes instead it is a novelty)
I also attach a detail of the battery icon.
-
I can only give you my personal experience.
I have owned a MacBook Air M1 for about a month and have no problems with Malwarebytes.
Only thing, the Malwarebytes protection is among those that, quite frequently, are considered to be energy-intensive (together with MWB only Safari). @treed A comment on this? Is it normal?
How to link previously purchased Premium to Apple ID?

It is a restriction only present on iOS and not on macOS that allows installations even from outside the Mac AppStore
