This anti-malware software keeps infected files out of your computer’s system and protects you from the various schemes that hackers may use to steal your information.

Software security

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a formidable defense system for your mac computer, preventing malware and other infections from penetrating your defenses.

This is one of the most reliable programs available that will keep you safe from any form of malicious software. One quick setup will give you peace of mind. Defend yourself against any invasive lines of code that seek to steal your information and ruin your computer.

While the free version of Malwarebytes doesn’t provide real-time protection, you’re able to perform a quick and detailed scan at any moment. Once an infection is detected, you’ll receive a notification asking whether the detected file should be deleted or placed on the ignore list. You can also set whether or not the program decides this automatically.

The software is extremely reliable. It comes with extra features like shell integration and a locked file deletion tool. It’s also getting consistent updates on its definitions, so this is a great thing to have in its favor. These regular updates will slow down your Mac system for a short while until the update has finished installing; that would be a pain if you’re working on something during that process. You’ll need to restart your system after some updates to get the full effect.

Avoid unsafe websites thanks to Malwarebytes’ ability to detect risky websites. Embrace the competitive accelerated scan speeds as you search for intrusive software that could hide within files.

Where can you run this program?

Malwarebytes is available for Mac OS, Android, IOS, and Chromebook.

Is there a better alternative?

No, there are many antivirus and anti-malware programs, but in the end, you get the quality that you pay for. Free alternatives are IObit Malware Fighter and AdwCleaner.

Our take

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a solid choice for antivirus software. Definitions are kept up to date, the settings are straightforward, and works on the web. The biggest concerns are the real-time protection being unavailable in the free version as well as the constant updates causing performance issues.

Should you download it?

Yes, if you’re concerned about being infected by malware, then this is the protection you need to have. Both the free and paid versions are great.
