Malware invasion

Hello folks,

My company has its own website and so far I was using Microsoft Office 365 EMail system. Yesterday, I have no idea how, as I never open any unknown attachments, or click on unsafe links or buttons, I have been invaded b y a malware which send several malicious spams to many of my contacts. By Apple suggestion, I have Malwarebytes.app installed in my iMac, so I ran it and after detecting the malware I deleted it, but Microsoft blocked my EMail. Due to such I will be changing my EMail system.

I am considering to upgrade Malwarebytes.app (the one I have now is the free version). My questions: Does anyone has experience with Malwarebytes.app paid version? Any other software suggestion?

Thanks Paulo

First, our MACs don't often get hit with malware, but it does occasionally happen. The Malwarebytes app you mentioned is excellent. I use it once a day (manually). I have only found malware on two occasions. The upgraded version, which I did not buy, allows you to set it to run on a scheduled basis: every hour, twice a day, or whatever you choose. I personally do not feel that much coverage is needed, so why pay for it. Hope this is helpful to you.

Hello Ronasara, my apologies for taking so long to return. Your information was very useful and I decided to get the Malwarebytes paid version. The trouble the invasion caused vs. the amount to pay lead me to do that.

Again, thank you Paulo
