[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1920618, member: 83420"] Malwarebytes has changed a lot since it was sold off and many of us here have advised that it be deleted from the Mac because of the risk of associated malware and because it permeates the whole of the Mac - such that complete deletion is difficult. Obviously, one can uninstall/delete it from Applications; but then if you use Find Any File (or Easy Find) Malwarebytes "bits" can be found in many corners of the Mac and these need to be deleted as well - which both of these apps will do, especially Find Any File. If I were you, I would never allow it full Disk access and I'd remove it in the manner described above. If you check our Forums, you'll see that this has been discussed many times. Your choice, obviously. Ian [/QUOTE]
