    Given MacKeeper's history, let's say that trust is also below zero that any proprietary uninstall procedures will clean the Mac properly. However I was referring to all PUPs of this type with particular reference to MacKeeper but not only
  2. Massimiliano
    @treed I read your last article Apple security hampers detection of unwanted programs Exhaustive and clear as usual Obviously we all understood what is the PUP software that uses the new framework ENDPOINT SECURITY Sites that even mention it are on my exclusion list What I would ask, if you could, is to explain in a pinned post at the top of this forum or with a second episode of the above mentioned article what could be the remedy for a user struggling with one of this software installed (this is not my case, at least currently or that I know of - surely there is not the one mentioned although anonymously, and I hope it never is) given the perspectives mentioned in the article in addition to the formatting of the Mac (which is obviously the extrema ratio) if a different solution exists (I think of those software that do not want to be uninstalled in any way) Thanks in advance Have a nice day Maximilian Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

    For the moment that's fine! Is there any news about the availability on the Italian AppStore?
  4. Massimiliano
    Received notification a couple of hours ago. Downloaded correctly. At the moment no problem as the software has not changed as per the release notes. Thanks
  5. Massimiliano
    Thank you very much @treed Exhaustive and clear as always
  6. Massimiliano
    Thank you for your answer. Could you please provide me the link, which you read, in which this feature of Rosetta 2 is explained. I would like to understand more about it (especially about software that works at low level as I think - maybe I'm wrong - an anti-malware or similar)
  7. Massimiliano
    I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understood correctly: Would you say that Malwarebytes is able to protect the Mac even if run emulated with Rosetta2? I think a confirmation is important (preferably with a pinned post at the top of the forum with a more detailed explanation) I ask because I was convinced that an anti-malware needed to access operating system resources only by having native code for the CPU than any other application (e.g. Office, Photo, Mail). Thanks

    Thank you. I don't want to disable SIP so if it is not harmful for me can stay there forever

    Good morning to all macOS experts (@treed , @alvarnell) I had installed the DuckDuckGo Safari extension. Now that I removed it completely it left this residual file found with the Finder search WBSDuckDuckGoTDS.json which is located in the following folder /Library/Apple/System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari/SafariShared.framework/Versions/A/Resources Does this file, which cannot be deleted, involve any risk? Thanks Greetings Massimiliano

    I hope, as soon as possible, in a M1 Compatible version because running an anti-malware with an emulator (however good) I don't think it's the best
  11. Massimiliano
    I would be interested to know if the current version (4.6.11) is already compatible not only with Big Sur, but also with Apple M1 or if a new version will be released (first obviously in beta). Before any future purchase, I would like to be sure that Malwarebytes can protect me. Thanks Have a good day Massimiliano
  12. Massimiliano
    Thanks for all the advice. Thanks for the advice. PS: @treed will a new invitation arrive or will the old one be reworked? Thanks to all
  13. Massimiliano
    Can you tell me then why apps like Messages, Mail, Whatsapp even completely closed and without enabling background updates always receive messages anyway?
  14. Massimiliano
    Do not worry. Attendo to the new invitation on TestFlight. Inquiries about it: In the meantime I ask you, considering that I have a bad habit of closing Apps, is it possible to make Malwarebytes work (protection and definitions update) even if it is not open in the background? In addition, if the difficulty for new markets is call protection, in my case for example (I'm in Italy) I use only web protection and adblocker. In fact, due to the apple limitations you mentioned in a previous post, the fraudulent call notification is not so evident and SMS are practically extinct.
  15. Massimiliano
    Actually of Malwarebytes for iOS I was using only Ad-Blocker (which I replaced with Ka-Block!) and Web Protection (which I don't know what to replace it with) even if in three years I was blocked on only one website whose link was included in an SMS from my old phone company about the residual credit check - the only time I clicked on a link (this maybe because I browse almost always on the same sites I know - rarely in fact even Safari's Google protection blocked me something). Call Protection (due to Apple's restrictions) doesn't show a very visible warning and the only time it reported something to me (I discovered it by chance later - I set it to warn and not to block it) was a call from Apple support (which I requested through the official app). SMS protection is now of little use, because SMS are hardly used anymore. The best protection in this sense is to read and trash them almost immediately (in my case I only get phone charging alerts or something more).
  16. Massimiliano
    Refer to my discussion where @alvarnell says the test should have been stopped. I am also waiting for answers from @treed about a possible advice on what to use for markets where it is not present.
  17. Massimiliano
    So, since you're certainly more experienced than I am in all things Apple, while waiting for @treed to say his, I'll ask you again: what do you propose to replace it on iOS until Malwarebytes is released on the AppStore where it is not present? And if the test is reopened, will those that were present be automatically inserted? Thank you for your answer
  18. Massimiliano
    But I am beta-tester since the beginning (about 3 years now), I don't have to be added now
  19. Massimiliano
    @treed , a question At 22 hours from the end of the current beta I have not yet received notification/email of the renewal and TestFlight does not propose it. Therefore I ask: is the Beta-Testing of the iOS MWB App definitely finished? If yes, is the release on the Italian Appstore planned? If not, what do you propose to replace it on iOS until its release? Thanks
  20. Massimiliano
    I wanted to ask if, almost a year after the release of the first version of Malwarebytes 4.x, a greater uniformity of the UI is expected in a future release? (I am talking for example about settings, reports, etc.). In Windows all have the same style while on macOS the Home Screen is definitely beautiful and modern while the other windows seem more legacy. Congratulations anyway because the app works great Thanks Translated from Italian with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

    As far as I know, when starting in safe mode, only the essential components are loaded on macOS, so any conflicts should be excluded. From the symptoms a damaged disk is very likely because it seems to be unable to load correctly. It is better to wait for a comment from o @treed, a member of the Mac staff or @alvarnell
  22. Massimiliano
    I don't know if the answer was for me, but I knew it. Anyway thanks. Firefox is my default browser since many years ago I decided to stop using and disable Internet Explorer. Edge, Chrome or others: never used on Windows on macOS only Safari, very rarely Firefox
  23. Massimiliano
    It actually lies in the start menu unused like the old Edge Apart from the fact that, at least in my case, Windows is used when I just can't do without it, that is practically never except when updates come out to install them
  24. Massimiliano
    Currently with Catalina 10.15.7 I use Safari 14 and at the moment nothing has changed compared to Safari 13 regarding search engines
  25. Massimiliano
    @exile360 thanks for the reply. It's not that I don't like DuckDuckGo; indeed I had tried it precisely for the privacy. Unfortunately, I often had to go back to Google because the results were not always complete in the same way and in the end I went back to Google so as not to have to switch from one engine to another. And this is due to the fact that Google is at least in practice a monopoly. Unfortunately, Startpage cannot be set as a default engine on Safari but only as a Homepage (therefore it does not work for searches in the URL bar). I'm definitely going to give it a chance and give DuckDuckGo another one. @exile360 if you have any other suggestions, they are very welcome In Safari for the default engine you can choose between Google, Yahoo, Bing and DuckDuckGo
