There is frankly much more 'bad stuff' out there for Windows, so MBAM for Windows has much more things to scan for. This is at least due to the fact that there is just a LOT less things to scan for on Macs than there is on Windows. The biggest reason is the Intego effectively only does Mac anti-virus/malware/security products and has been doing so long before most of the other 'big names' starting doing Mac products (with the exception of McAfee and Norton/Symantec).Īnd MBAM for Mac is not as extensive as the PC version. Personally, I use Intego's VirusBarrier (actually also their firewall NetBarrier as well), which is a paid program. I believe at least some of the free ones are like MBAM for Mac in that they don't have a real-time/background scanner, but I believe some do. There are a number of them available for Macs. If you want a real-time malware/virus scanner, then you will need a full anti-virus program. It only scans when you run the program and manually initiate a scan. MBAM for Mac does not run in the background. Is it because the computer isn’t upgraded to Sierra? IPhoto Apple version 9.6.1 released Mar 19, 2015 Incompatible item and it appears it isn’t downloaded - This to me is what the computer needs: does this make sense? Somewhere in my evaluation of the computer I saw that there is a Free upgrade to Mac OS Sierra

RAM 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Startup disk Macintosh HD Processor 2.3 GHz or 3.3 GHz I don’t recall. Plus I couldn't tell if it's up-to-date, look up any history on it or tell if it automatically runs in the background. That's the fastest I've ever seen Malwarebytes run on any PC including new ones.

I don’t think the computer is infected: she has Malwarebytes for Mac and it took only 10 seconds to run a quick scan and didn’t report any issues. The owner was surprised but I told her when a pop up does occur or there is an email issue, take a picture so I can tell what’s going on.

I didn’t see any pop ups while I was there or any email issues.
