Title: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
Post by: Corrine on July 15, 2015, 06:43:03 PM
Yes, you read that correctly.  Malwarebytes now has a program specifically for Mac users! Thomas Reed, the former owner of "The Safe Mac" and creator of the anti-adware program "AdwareMedic" has joined the Malwarebytes team as Director of Mac Offerings at Malwarebytes, of course bringing his program and expertise with him. 

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac is free for consumers.  Read more about it here:  Introducing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac (https://blog.malwarebytes.org/news/2015/07/introducing-malwarebytes-anti-malware-for-mac/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social).

Thanks, Corrine. This is the first time I've ever downloaded an app not yet approved by the Apple App Store. Although MBAM has always worked well on my Windows 7 machine, I hope my MacBook Pro doesn't suddenly catch fire or blow up.  :wink: Don't know if I actually need it, or not, yet I'll give it a spin.

I've been using MBAM on my Android tablet and it hasn't caught fire yet so I think you'll be okay.  :goodie:

Well, please allow me to be the first to comment that MBAM for Mac works very smoothly, and FAST! I clicked "Scan", and it finished scanning in approximately 3.5 seconds (MacBook Pro Retina - loaded).

Best thing? My Mac didn't catch fire. Who'd a thunk?  :wink:

Thanks again, Corrine!  :rose:
