Hi Was looking at Malwarebytes for Mac for some home Macs, after experiencing McAfee's appalling customer service (having issues with McAfee detecting infection on an external drive, but not cleaning/quarantining) yet it seems that Malwarebytes cannot scan an external HD. Why not, what's the reasoning for that? I read an earlier forum where it was referred to as a 'feel good function'...seems like a basic, sensible function to me. Secondly, can anyone recommend a product that does scan and clean an attached external HD? Thanks.

What's "feel good" about removing viruses etc. from external drives? Why not be able to scan it, and clean it, rather than have to copy files to you computer and then run a scan? Seems senseless to me: why not get rid of infected files before they land on your computer??

Hi, wondering if anyone has run into this issue; when I was using the full version trial, my machine slowed to a crawl when launching applications, or doing anything memory intensive; is this an issue with MalwareBytes on older machines (MBP mid 2009 running El Capitan; and please don't tell me to "get a newer machine" or "upgrade the OS" as 10.11.xx is the most stable update for my Mac.)
