Scanner: This is the app’s basic disk scan, which runs through your entire hard disk in search of harmful files.Malwarebytes takes a multi-pronged approach to keep your Mac free of harmful software. Here’s my experience with one popular application, Malwarebytes. That’s why I’ve been looking for third-party malware protectors to ensure that my information stays safe. Macs don’t come out of the box with much protection against these harmful programs. From spyware that attaches itself to your web browser and records your searches to keyloggers that watch everything you type, nothing is off-limits. There’s never been more harmful software floating around online, and it can find its way onto your Mac secretly. It’s a dangerous world out there, and it’s not any safer for your Mac.
