Some find just a few files, some find as many as 23! I don’t know what they are all doing, but I don’t trust it and I don’t trust the company it comes from. If you put “malwarebytes” into EasyFind, it’s really varied for folks. Even the free version of MalwareBytes now installs a lot of files all over your Mac, deep in the System. Plus, recently MalwareBytes has become very intrusive. Legitimate anti-virus software often takes an hour or two to do a complete scan of your hard drive. I believe that MalwareBytes is a comprehensive solution for adware, but it stretches the imagination to believe that it is scanning your entire hard drive for all malware in a handful of seconds.
You can’t even scan one folder with a good number of files in it in that amount of time. MalwareBytes does a scan of (supposedly) your entire drive and it takes what? About 17 seconds? Hmmmm.
And the MalwareBytes folks themselves have been advertising it as a comprehensive solution to protect your Mac from malware. Many folks will recommend MalwareBytes as a comprehensive anti-virus solution. Okay…this is likely to cause a kerfuffle.
