If you're referring to macOS malware, click here.

If you're referring to Windows malware, use ClamXav or the tools built into Windows.

If you're referring to a browser popup warning of malware, it's a scam unless it came in response to uploading a file, in which case, see the Windows line or just delete the file.

If you think you have malware installed then try the following:


Use MalwareBytes for Mac: This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:
