Malwarebytes for Mac

Un logiciel très pratique et fonctionnel, à qui je ne ferait que le reproche de n'autoriser qu'un nombre limité d'activation. Pour un débutant sur mac qui fait quelques bourdes, avec la nécessitée de réinstaller sa machine à plusieurs reprise cela devient embêtant d'avoir à sollicité le site et leurs indulgence afin de vous octroyer une nouvelle possibilité d'utilisation. Je pense que pour un prix aussi élevé une version avec achat unique serait le bienvenue, en ne payant que les mises à jours importantes. C'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle je n'ait pas renouvelé l'abonnement.

Uninstalled. I'm sad to say the free version of Malwarebytes has become too intrusive for me to use. (1) There are no uninstall instructions at the website for version 5. The instructions for version 4 are irrelevant for v5. (2) It nags me to be able to scan websites and collect the pages I visit at that site. That's too much. (3) Their Browser Guard keeps blocking my access to important web pages I use regularly. This may have something to do with surveillance built into the links themselves that are listed in blocking lists used by Malwarebytes. But this too is too much. (4) I'm tired of nags to upgrade. - - I know the fellow who created the app and greatly respect his work. But it appears that corporate attitude toward users has overridden user-friendliness. - - I'm using and paying for another excellent anti-malware app system anyway. So, so long, at least for now. 😔

Latest version 5.6.0 forces a new menubar item on you with no option to turn it off - by design. Some people may want this - I don't. Software developers shouldn't take up valuable menubar space without providing the option to turn it off for those who don't want it.

I wish MU would catch up with the last few years of Malwarebytes for Mac. It's NOT an "adware removal tool", but rather: "Mac virus scan and antivirus. Specifically designed to catch threats on Mac, we crush viruses, ransomware, and other malware in real time – so your Mac runs like it should.... Specifically designed to catch malware on Mac, our threat intelligence & proven technology let you rest easy, knowing that we’re finding and crushing threats that other antivirus software missed. The best part, we do it all without hogging your system’s resources or spamming you with annoying notifications." IOW it's a full ANTI-MALWARE detection and removal tool. I could further bombard with feature quotes from the developer's page. Please check it out for yourself. I consider Malwarebytes for Mac one of the essential anti-malware apps for Mac.

v5.4.1.1525 is out as of July 14th. The new 2D color-on-black GUI is impressive. Included is a graph of CPU usage by the app. It's still FREE. Added in the Standard version are "24/7 antivirus & anti-malware protection" and "Browser Guard: Extension for a faster, safer, and cleaner browsing experience." The Plus version adds access to a VPN with kill switch. COSTS per device: Standard - $3.75/mo. ($44.99 Billed annually). Plus - $5.00/mo. ($59.99 Billed annually).
