[Malware premium for Mac 3.4.12]

There are such tools that claim to do such things in the Mac App Store, but they are mostly frauds. Apple rules covering App Store applications preclude them from being able to adequately identify and then quarantine or remove such infections. That's why all the true anti-malware software must be distributed outside the App Store.

On my first ever visit to the app store , i thought WOW so many useful apps !

( Cleaners / Optimisers etc )

Most look great but do nothing but spread unwanted files around.

I Know better now

It has to be about money over ethical practice ?

thanks , Alvarnell

Nice touch to a already proven anti malware solution?

Since purchasing my first mac  ( got fed up with Windows 10 ) and never looked back .

I have used premium from the start with no problems and now we have scheduled scans too .

Over time i have learned that Macs do not need cleaning / anti virus apps and wonder why these are in a app store ?

[cryptojacking]

Hello , i have read recently a few articles on cryptocurrency mining 

Does Malwarebytes for Mac premium guard against cryptojacking ?

thanks , David

 

[Keep getting prompted to update]

Hello gsabljak ,

Did you use the Malwarewarebytes uninstaller that was downloaded at the time , or dragged it into the trash ?

No, I don't think that's enough...I have anti-virus software Avira on my Mac in addition to Malwarebytes in case.

I should have said with your choice of anti-virus if required

[Is MalwareBytes for Mac enough ?]

Since using malwarebytes premium from the start , i often wondered if real time protection actually did do what it said .

I accidently downloaded ( should no better ) MacRemover whist trying to remove Onyx .

Real time protection kicked ! and easy enough to remove afterwards .

So , yes Malwarebytes and common sense is all i recommend for mac users

I suspect the problem of malware, generically, is a constantly moving target, adrift on the undercurrents of the ungovernable internet, the surface of which is buffeted by the winds of marketing.

well said , i could not agree more

[Meltdown]

 Thankyou all ,

The implications are scary for everyone .

[Meltdown]

Does  Malwarebytes offer any possible protection against  Meltdown attacks ?

my Sophos Home for Mac is great; no performance impact and runs along Malwarebytes perfectly

sorry to hear that you had issues, perhaps you had the legacy version?

Ok , Sophos is back !

Working perfectly with Malwarebytes premium .

[Is MalwareBytes for Mac enough ?]

Update ,

Sophos has stopped working completely and a bit of a pain to uninstall  ( alvarnell was right on that one )

NO more anti virus products on this mac !

sticking with Malwarebytes and Ublock origin

[Why Does Malwarebytes quarantine its competition??]

Yes ,

You may think that anything  in the Mac App store would be 100%  ( positive reviews etc )

one particular high ranking antivirus app , actually created a false infection ! , then tried to charge for it`s removal !

You should not use both Sophos "On-Access" and Malwarebytes "Real-Time Protection" at the same time as they will undoubtedly conflict while attempting to scan the same files.

uBlock will pretty much stop all malvertising and ads, but won't detect other types of web page infection or phishing/malware url links. Don't recall offhand whether Firefox provides any of that or not. Both Safari and Chrome use Google SafeBrowsing to help with those.

Hi , Alvarnell

I haven`t noticed any conflict between these two  , but i hear your advice

 

[Is MalwareBytes for Mac enough ?]

Hello , John10 ,

I use Sophos / Ublock origin as well as malwarebytes premium , with the Firefox browser , which pretty much is enough protection for me .

No conflicts or slowness !

I do not have any problem with Malwarebytes premium for mac .

i was unaware of RTProtectionDaemon memory handling problem

sorry , for creating a useless post

Hello ,

had a spot of bother with the new version , it quoted unprotected real time .

uninstall/reinstall cured the problem , but we have to reinsert our license.

very good update and fast , very impressed

i am not sure about ditching my antivirus though
