![]() ![]() I have Malwarebytes installed on a MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.1 and have no issues. There are a couple of stray comments on Reddit but nothing indicating know issues. I called Apple Support and they are unaware of any software conflicts. I attempted to contact Malwarebytes and the ticket continually auto-closes. I've called Eero (which offers "Malwarebytes Premium" as part of the "Plus" subscription) and they could not offer any suggestions. I continue to receive the same installation error message (which is "content-free"). ![]() I deleted all files (with App Cleaner), turned off my VPN (Proton), rebooted the computer, removed "Objective-See" software, ran disc utility and then re-installed Ventura. I have attempted to install Malwarebytes on my MacBook Pro (OS 13.1) after my previous installed version failed to run. If you ran something that is too dangerous for that, you’re in deep trouble. I’m well aware of the kinds of harmful and obviously illegal and malicious software that is openly made available on the normal internet. If you have downloaded and run any software via Tor, then you would be well-advised to erase your hard drive and reinstall the operating system. People here do generally recommend Malwarebytes if forced to recommend something, but only because Malwarebytes has historically been less problematic than other products.īut in addition, people in this forum don’t run panopticlick either, or even know what it is. The people in this forum generally don’t use any 3rd party antivirus apps. Otherwise, if you are having a problem with Malwarebytes, you will have to contact them for assistance. Whether they can sell such an app on the Mac App Store is an entirely different question. The technical limitations that Apple imposes on all Mac App Store apps prevents an antivirus app from functioning. Thanks for reading this and the question,Īll I can tell you is that it is impossible to have an antivirus on the Mac App Store. I did download from the App Store another software package (suggested by Apple) called, " Antivirus One" and nothing was found. Maybe that's a dubious and stupid conjecture on my part, but that's the full story. Being sort of obtuse, I wondered if malware had been installed on my computer. I went through all the steps I previously mentioned (more of an exercise than a necessity, I suppose) and - no matter what I did - the installation failed.Īs a full disclosure, what prompted this futile effort was a this: I ran EFF's panopticlick on Tor and on my (utterly generic) version of Safari. When I did that, an "installation error" message appeared and that's all it said. When I opened it today, I received an error message, the exact contents of which I don't recall but it didn't tell me anything specific other than to uninstall it and re-download/install again. ![]() I have used Malwarebytes on my MacBook Pro for some time to run the occasional "hygienic" check. In brief, Malwarebytes failed to install. Also when I had downloaded that fishy software I had actually downloaded two different versions and the other one I still have on my computer, never actually finished the installation though as it just stopped halfway through. Please help me? How do I find out if and what kind of malware/virus I've got on my computer and then - how do I get rid of it?Įdit: I have AdBlocker installed and when I started getting these pop-ups I was stupid and installed more safari plug-ins. I have no idea if this software is reliable and if this is true so. I haven't done anything else with it but it popped up and said: It's a MacBook Pro 13" from mid 2014.Īs I got a bit panicked today I googled "malware mac" and ended up on "Insider" which linked to a malware software called CleanMyMacX which I downloaded and installed. I obviously got a bad feeling by that so I shut it down and removed the program with an app called AppCleaner. During the installation Terminal opened up on my computer and it wrote things on terminal by it self. A few weeks ago I tried to download a program (pirate/not verified. I keep getting pop-ups on Safari, and I've never had that problem before. Malware/virus? Hey there! I think my computer might be infected. ![]()
