Jun 8, 2016 4:31 AM in response to macdaddysolutionsby appreciate,i really appreciate the steps to run malware bytes , but please add a point after # 3 when malware bytes is dragged and dropped in application folder open application folder and find malware bytes ,right click on it then it will prompt for user name password . please enter it . after that click on scan .
Malware bytes is in download folder , so empty it by right clicking it to trash as .dmg files occupy hard disk space .finally restart from apple logo and empty the trash .
