macOS Sierra and MBAM

[Popeye]

macOS Sierra to be released September 20th. For the upgrade, do we have to uninstall MBAM for Mac or keep it installed?

Any problems with MBAM working with macOS Sierra (beta)?

We have not found any issues with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac on the betas of macOS Sierra. There should not be any reason to uninstall it prior to installing Sierra.

Thank you for the reply Thomas.

Sure, no problem!

Hi,

Malwarebytes (for Mac) runs on Sierra - but I have some kind of performace issue.

Starting the app is fast.

Scanning is fast.

But after clicking the "OK" Button after the scan it takes about 5-6 seconds to close the dialogue.

Even closing the app takes about 5-6 seconds...

No big problem - but some kind of strange.

Never had such issues with El Capitan.

Thx,

Olaf

We've seen something similar here since the official release, although only half-second lags here. Nothing as excessive as 5-6 second lags. We're not sure yet what's going on.

Annoyingly, we didn't see this with any of the Sierra betas. This appears to be new in the release version of Sierra.

I'm also noticing a prominent lag since macOS Sierra update, not that its a big deal because MB is so dang fast to begin with, waiting a few extra seconds isn't a big deal, but I just wanted to report that I'm having this experience as well.

Thanks for the report. We're able to pretty reliably reproduce this here as well, though still no idea what the cause is.

I'm wondering if this is a Sierra issue. I've noticed some other odd lag issues with other apps as well... for example, scrolling with the two-finger trackpad gesture in TextWrangler and other apps is not working very well.

In any case, we'll be working to try to figure out what's going on.

I've noticed this as well with Microsoft word, 2 finger scrolling is laggy and hit or miss.

Any updates to this?

No, we're still not sure what the root cause is. My gut feeling says that there's something weird going on in Sierra that may resolve itself, but I'm not ruling out by any means that there's something weird about our code either. So we're definitely still investigating.
