EnfysNest Posted June 12, 2018 ID:1249705 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi, I'm new to using Malwarebytes. I would like to scan a compromised iMac I have that is running Sierra to see what malware it may have picked up. If I install the free trial version of Malwarebytes, does that file have the most up to date database? If not, how would I go about installing the most recent I do not want to connect the iMac to the internet, so I cannot get any updates that way. I've been looking through the Mac forum, but could not find an answer to my question, so I'm hoping I didn't just overlook it. Thank you for your time.

alvarnell Posted June 12, 2018 ID:1249756 Share Posted June 12, 2018 AFAIK, the only way to ensure an up-to-date database requires Internet connectivity. The current version will only come with the malware database that was current at the time it was released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnfysNest Posted June 13, 2018 Author ID:1249876 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I have seen old threads from previous versions of the software that seemed to indicate that there was a file you could download to update offline, but wasn't sure if maybe that was still in place for the current iteration.

Staff treed Posted June 22, 2018 Staff ID:1251907 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Malwarebytes for Mac will work just fine offline, but it requires a connection to download updates. There is no way currently to download these database updates and apply them while offline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
