Installing Windows version on Mac w/ PlayOnMac


Recommended Posts

I am attempting to install MBAM on my Mac via the software PlayOnMac.

I have successfully installed Malwarebytes on my Mac in the past, however due to a PlayOnMac update MBAM now 'encounters serious errors and needs to close'.  I've tried reinstalling several times with no luck.   Are there separate libraries I need to install, or is something in my system now causing errors?

Apologies if this isn't the right place for my question, and thanks for your time.

Hi:

I don't know if that is supported.

Do you actually have a Windows partititon (dual-boot) or a proper VM?

Otherwise, staff will correct me if I am wrong, but MBAM for PC must be installed on a Windows platform, MBAM-Mac on the Mac OS platform, and MBAM-Mobile on the Android platform.

We will see if a staff member has more advice.

Thanks,

PlayOnMac creates virtual drives, which simulate the Windows filestructure while the program redirects functionality to the Mac interface. (This probably isn't a good way to put it, looking at the POM website would be more helpful. >.< )

Again it has worked with POM in the past, the only things I think should be causing this are changes to the POM software in the update rendering this unusable, and changes to MBAM doing the same.

Perhaps you might want to install MBAM-Mac on the Mac OS?

It does not (yet) provide real-time protection -- it is only a manual scanner.

But it might be the only supported option at this time.

Again, we'll need to wait for someone Mac-savvy, POM-savvy or generally savvy to weigh in.

Info, system specs and download link for MBAM-Mac are here: Anti-Malware for Mac

Thanks again,
