[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1765884, member: 182015"] Did you get Malwarebytes directly from the developers? I've used the free Malwarebytes many times and I don't have all that junk on my Mac. I suggest you uninstall the Premium version. The /etc/hosts file has been tampered with - I do't know if that's good or bad in your case. the hosts file takes precedence over DNS (standard internet page requests), so some malware has inserted things in this file that prevent normal Apple security (automatic xProtect) updates. Please post the /etc/hosts file (or read about what shouldn't be there online). [/QUOTE]
