TonyP1950 Posted May 30, 2019 ID:1314922 Share Posted May 30, 2019 A computer service engineer installed Malwarebytes on my computer and I can't get rid of it! It's still on the main bar on my MacBook pro and I keep getting the company notifications that a new version is available. I never took the free version or bought the charged versions - I want to get this off my PC. Please help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvarnell Posted May 30, 2019 ID:1314927 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Be aware that the free version you have, as well as the current update will still be free forever and can be made to simply sit on your computer without interfering with anything, so it will be there if at some point in the future you feel a need to check your MBP.

alvarnell Posted May 30, 2019 ID:1314930 Share Posted May 30, 2019 In such a case, you can do one of two things: 1) Reinstall Malwarebytes for Mac (re-download from the following link, if necessary), then uninstall by following the directions at the link above. https://malwarebytes.com/mac-download 2) Download and run the following AppleScript applet, which will uninstall the software. https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mac_uninstall_script/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
