[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1828548, member: 110816"] Malwarebytes is not an Apple recommendation, but rather one that is recommended by users such as us. You run it and when it finds the bad things on your machine you allow it to clean it out for you. Unlike viruses, malware traditionally don't tend to spread amongst your computers in your home network, so your other machines are likely safe as long as you don't click on random pop-ups again. Speaking of pop-ups, you absolutely should be running some combination of Ghostery, uBlock Origin, Adblock on your browser to prevent any of these badness. As as as Email goes, it all depends how you are connecting to your mail server. If through IMAP, then you have nothing to worry and no need to export since you will get it all when you re-connect later on. If through POP, then you need to backup before you re-install. If you are going to an exchange server, then I believe all the info is on the server as well. [/QUOTE]
