After years of satisfactory use of Malwarebytes (even on Win and on my phone), I've recently switched to Premium subscription. It's a top tier app and all that. But a few weeks ago my Macbook started acting strange: after 1-2 hours of normal use the CPU reach the stars, and the kernel_task process even top 500%, making the device unusable. I looked for a malware (my fist thought) but MB says system was clean and other scanners as well. So I ran EtreCheckPro that gave me interesting results. 1) Antivirus software problems - Antivirus software is causing performance problem. (The other "av" is Adguard, but stay off most of the time. Malwarebytes Real-time protection is always active.) 2) An app that continously crashing: 2019-07-24 01:12:28 SIMBL Agent.app - Crash (14 times) Executable: /Library/ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax/Contents/Resources/SIMBL Agent.app Details: dyld: launch, running initializers /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib Any help? I have no idea what app excites SIMBL Agent.app..
