Malwarebytes Introduces Malwarebytes for Mac to Protect Against Rising Levels of Mac Malware
August 2017 by Marc Jacob
Malwarebytes™ announced the release of Malwarebytes for Mac, featuring real-time protection to automatically block and remove cyber threats, including malware, adware and potentially unwanted programs. The innovative and fast detection engine has minimal impact on device operations to ensure Mac computers run like they should, and is recommended over traditional antivirus programs by many professionals.
According to data collected by Malwarebytes, Mac users saw more malware in the second quarter (May to June) than they had seen in all of 2016. In fact, more new malware families have appeared this year than in any other previous year in Mac history.
Malwarebytes for Mac features several distinct benefits and features for users to protect against this increasingly dangerous Mac threat landscape, including:
• Real-time Anti-Malware Protection Scanner: Malwarebytes for Mac provides ultra-fast proactive scanning for malware and spyware in real-time, in addition to flagging potentially unwanted programs and adware.
• Antivirus Replacement or Complement: Malwarebytes for Mac completely replaces existing antivirus solutions or can run alongside any antivirus program.
• Small System Footprint: Malwarebytes for Mac utilises minimal system resources to ensure that Macs run smoothly.
