In most cases, MBAM-Mac can simply remove any suspicious or infected files (this may require a reboot, but not always), but look out for an exclamation point - this indicates the malware may be trickier to remove, and should provide a link to more help dealing with this particular infection. Removing these wipes all your browser settings, so the program leaves them unchecked to prevent you from accidentally deleting them before due consideration has been made.
The program’s footprint is small, it’s a cinch to use, and it’ll quickly flag up anything that’s sneaked on to your system without you realizing it.ĭon’t be surprised if certain items aren’t selected by default - these are typically legitimate files (like browser preferences) that have been modified by the infection.
It’s a simple scan and remove tool, designed to detect various forms of Mac malware and then purge it. Like the free PC version, this initial release offers no real-time protection. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac targets various types of malware, but focuses in particular on adware and other PUPs.
